Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tbsp salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.
Stir in the softened butter, heavy cream, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until smooth.
Let the potatoes cool slightly, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and egg yolks until fully combined.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer the potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe 3-inch swirls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Chill the piped potatoes in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Brush the tops of the swirls with melted butter.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve warm.
