Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2 inches wide.
Place the potato chunks 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 to a gentle simmer. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not let it boil.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth and creamy.
Slowly stir in the warmed heavy cream, mixing until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the prepared horseradish, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
