Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not let the mixture boil.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them well using a colander.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot and mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly stir the warm cream and butter mixture into the mashed potatoes until fully incorporated and creamy.
Add the prepared horseradish, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes, stirring until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the horseradish mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite entrée.
