Here, horseradish gets mixed into mashed potatoes for a piquant holiday side dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 ½ pounds russet potatoes (about 7), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup prepared horseradish

  • ½ cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high, then reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot. With a potato masher, mash until potatoes are fluffy and free of large lumps. (For a smoother texture, pass potatoes through a ricer or food mill into pot.)

  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat cream, milk, and butter over medium-low until butter melts. Slowly pour cream mixture into potatoes, stirring until combined. Whisk in horseradish to taste and sour cream, and season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Notes
