Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes have been doing the heavy lifting at dinner for decades. They perfectly round out any meal, are almost universally beloved, and they also never seem to get old. But, if you ever do want to dress them up this horseradish mashed potato recipe makes for a hearty dish that’s creamy -and pleasantly spiced with a bit of horseradish.

To start this recipe off you’ll need to cube and boil 3 pounds of Yukon gold potatoes. There’s no real need to remove the skins, but you can if you like. Then mash them with some butter and a little of the potato water if needed.

Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

The real flavor, however, comes from the addition of a tasty mixture of sour cream and prepared horseradish. This is the potent stuff that comes in a little jar, often found in the grocery among the pickles and salad fixins.

You only need a small amount of horseradish to bring these potatoes to life.
