Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized chunks, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes over low heat to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add the butter and heavy cream to the pot with the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the prepared horseradish, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed red potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
