Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons 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 until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Let the residual heat from the pot evaporate any remaining moisture from the potatoes for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the pot with the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, then stir it into the mashed potatoes.
Fold in the prepared horseradish and season with ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
