Notes
While this recipe utilizes pre-made mashed potatoes for convenience, consider using freshly prepared, well-seasoned mashed potatoes for superior flavor and texture. Adjust the amount of horseradish to your personal preference; start with the recommended amount and add more for a stronger kick. For an extra layer of flavor, a pinch of finely chopped fresh chives or a roasted garlic clove can be incorporated. Ensure potatoes are heated through but not overcooked, as this can dry them out. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper before serving. This dish pairs excellently with roasted meats, especially beef.
