Equipment
- Potato peeler
- Large Pot
- colander
- Potato masher or ricer
- mixing bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream or milk
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (adjust to taste)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes – Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Boil the Potatoes – Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well in a colander.
- Mash the Potatoes – Return the drained potatoes to the pot. For the best creamy texture, use a potato ricer or a hand masher. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the potatoes gummy.
- Add the Flavors – Add butter, cream (or milk), and your choice of horseradish. Start with a smaller amount of horseradish, tasting as you go until you reach the desired flavor intensity.
- Season and Serve – Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving everything a final mix to combine. Serve warm, garnished with chives or extra butter if desired.
