Holiday Mashed Potatoes

Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1/3 cup cheddar gruyere cheese, freshly shredded
• 3 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
• 1/3 cup of sour cream
• 1 stick of butter (reserve a pad to melt on top)
• 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
• 1/2 tablespoon horseradish powder (find it here)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.
2. Put the potatoes into a pot and cover with water.
3. Set heat to high and cover. If bubbles begin to push the lid, move the lid to allow a little air exposure and continue to boil.
4. Once potatoes are cooked through and very tender, remove from heat and drain into a strainer. Flip the potatoes in the strainer a couple of times to help the water drain.
5. Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, reserving a pad of butter to melt on top, and mix well.
6. Transfer the potatoes to a microwave safe serving dish. Once the rest of the food is ready, put the reserved pad of butter on top of the potatoes and microwave from 30-60 seconds, until melted.
