Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat; season to taste.with salt and pepper.
  5. Season potatoes to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in egg yolks. Transfer potatoes to a large resealable plastic bag; cut a 1-inch opening in one corner.
