Ingredients:
4 lb large yellow-fleshed potatoes such as yukon gold, peeled and quartered |
1 3/4 cups half-and-half |
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup drained bottled horseradish |
Directions:
1. Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 5-quart heavy pot, then simmer, uncovered, until very tender, about 25 minutes.
2. While potatoes are simmering, bring half-and-half, butter, salt, and pepper just to a simmer, stirring until butter is melted. Keep hot, covered.
3. Drain potatoes in a colander, then immediately force through ricer into a large bowl. Stir in hot milk mixture, then horseradish.
4. Cooks' notes: If you don't have a ricer or food mill, you can use a handheld masher, but the consistency of the potatoes won't be as smooth.
5. Mashed potatoes can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature, then reheat in a microwave or double boiler, stirring occasionally.
