Mashed Potatoes
SG Archives: Horsing Around
Several years ago garlic mashed potatoes became popular. And almost inevitably that led to other variations on mashed potatoes like chipotle mashed potatoes, artichoke mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes with various kinds of cheese, and even Lipton Onion Soup mashed potatoes. But one variation I haven't seen anywhere was suggested to me by an English friend — horseradish mashed potatoes.
These are extraordinarily (even spectacularly) good and couldn't be any easier to make. The horseradish flavor is a delightful complement to the mashed potatoes, offering a similar earthy flavor, as well as a surprising foil to the potatoes inherent blandness.
(Note: My favorite potato for mashing is Yukon Gold.)
(Note too: Of course you have to serve either roast beef, fried chicken, or meatloaf with mashed potatoes.)
Try Horseradish Mashed Potatoes with...
Bacon-wrapped Meatloaf
Rack of Lamb with Caramelized Onions

Aaaaahhhh . . . meatloaf and mashed potatoes would be my penultimate meal. Then, of course, my last meal would be a meatloaf sandwich. I do love horseradish with a rib roast so this will be on the menu as soon as we have a cool spell.
My family has no horseradish fans other than myself. So, one of my favorite things to do is to make a well in the mashed potatoes on my plate, add butter and a spoongul or horseradish. Then I stir fro the middle, outwards. Heaven.
CJ,
Oh yeah.
OMG- very bad typos...... *taps hands*
