These creamy horseradish mashed potatoes add a great kick to a classic side dish using prepared horseradish. This recipe can be made on the stovetop or in your instant pot.
Recently I made a great Bloody Mary recipe that came out amazing especially considering that I never thought myself to be a fan of them. I did have to buy some prepared horseradish for it which I will admit is something I never actually purchased before.
Since I had this full bottle on hand, I wondered what else I could do with it until I had the thought to make a sauce or even add it to mashed potatoes. When I looked up if horseradish mashed potatoes were a thing, I wasn’t surprised to see it was because they are delicious!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds Golden Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Ghee or Butter
- ¾ cup Whole Milk or Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Prepared Horseradish
- ½ tbsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder

- Add them to a large pot and fill with water until it comes up to 1” above the potatoes. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
