    Add the water to a large stockpot over high heat. Add the Roasted Chicken Base and whisk to dissolve. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are pierced easily with a knife.

    Carefully remove the baking sheet from oven and add the potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Slowly add in the melted butter with the mixer on low speed. Add eggs, one at a time, in the pepper, Roasted Garlic Base, and heavy cream, whisk until smooth, using a rubber spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl.

    Add half of the whipped potatoes to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the potatoes in a circular and upward motion onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the potatoes are used.
