Mashed Potatoes with Horseradish and Garlic Recipe

Mashed Potatoes always draw me in. Especially gooooood mashed potatoes. You know what I mean, right? Those mashed potatoes that you can just tell someone took the time to make them right and didn’t just throw them together and hope for the best. The mashed potatoes that have just the right consistency, just the right amount of butter, just the right amount of salt, and oh yes, just the right amount of horseradish and garlic.

WHAT?

Yes, I said it. Horseradish and garlic.

I’ve always had a thing for mashed potatoes with horseradish and garlic and a couple of weeks ago when I ate at a beautiful restaurant while traveling, they served mashed potatoes with horseradish and I kept feeling like I wanted to tell them if they just added the garlic the mashed potatoes would have been perfect.

I think I have a problem.

Anywho, if you have an affinity for horseradish like I do OR if you want to give your holiday side dish a little kick in the pant OR if you are suffering from a seasonal cold, this dish has your name all over it. Promise. Just give it a try.

When you remove from the oven, top with remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
