Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest texture.
• Horseradish — Adjust the amount of horseradish according to your preference for spiciness. You can also use freshly grated horseradish for a stronger flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra creamy texture, pass the mashed potatoes through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the mashed potatoes for a tangy twist.
• Serve the Creamy Horseradish Potatoes alongside roasted meats or grilled sausages for a hearty meal.
• If you prefer a milder horseradish flavor, reduce the amount of horseradish used in the recipe.
• Leftover Creamy Horseradish Potatoes can be reheated in the oven or on the stovetop with a little extra butter and cream.

Serving advice

Serve the Creamy Horseradish Potatoes as a side dish alongside your favorite German main course, such as Sauerbraten or Bratwurst. They also pair well with roasted chicken or beef dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, use a piping bag to create decorative swirls or peaks with the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle some paprika or chives on top for an added touch of color.
