Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Place the garlic cloves on a small sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap the foil tightly to create a packet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Peel and chop the potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily mashable.
While the potatoes cook, remove the roasted garlic from the foil and squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash the garlic into a smooth paste using a fork.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the hot pot to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter, mashed roasted garlic, heavy cream, prepared horseradish, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful twist on classic mashed potatoes!
