How to Make Horseradish Mashed Potatoes:

To create the perfect horseradish mashed potatoes, you will need the following ingredients and follow the easy step-by-step instructions below:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter – room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• minced chives, scallions or parsley for optional garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks. This way they cook evenly. Place the potato pieces into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Step 2: Drain and Mash

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute or two to let any excess moisture evaporate. Use a potato masher, ricer, or electric mixer and mashe the potatoes. For a smoother texture use a ricer or mixer. For more textured mashed potatoes use a potato masher.

Step 3: Add Dairy and Horseradish

Add the butter and incorporate it evenly. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and add the sour cream, mix well. Fold in the garlic, Dijon mustard, and horseradish.

Step 4: Season and Serve

Season the creamy mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper. Garnish with fresh chives, chopped scallions or parsley. Serve hot and enjoy.
