Ingredients

  • 4 lbs Russet potatoes, about 5 large, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup prepared horseradish, plus more to taste
  • ¼ cup (4 Tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 1-2 tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional add-ins: sour cream, chives, or other fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, then add 4 lbs peeled, cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain, then place potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash the potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes (see note below!) until smooth, then stir in ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup prepared horseradish, 4 Tbsp butter, 1 tsp Kosher salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until evenly mixed. Taste, then adjust seasoning as needed, adding more horseradish or Kosher salt if wanted. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Make ahead & storage: Refrigerate horseradish mashed potatoes for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream.
  • Freezing: Can be frozen up to 2 months, though texture may soften. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Tip: For ultra-fluffy potatoes, pass the boiled potatoes through a ricer.
