Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized chunks, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes over low heat to evaporate any excess moisture.
Step 5
Add the butter and heavy cream to the pot with the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Stir in the prepared horseradish, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed red potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
