Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Instant mashed potato flakes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the whole milk and butter to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, remove it from heat and immediately stir in the instant mashed potato flakes until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken quickly.
Fold in the sour cream and prepared horseradish to evenly distribute the flavors. Adjust the amount of horseradish to taste, depending on your desired level of tanginess.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to ensure the seasoning is evenly mixed.
Allow the potatoes to sit for 1-2 minutes to fully absorb the liquid and develop their texture.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.
Serve hot as a side dish to your main course. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
