  • Total Time: 38 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

5 pounds red potatoes, chopped into equal-size pieces

1/3 cup milk, more as needed

1/2 cup sour cream

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

3/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

23 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan

15 teaspoons horseradish sauce, to taste

3/4 cup butter

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Scrub and chop potatoes into 1–2 inch pieces.
  3. Boil potatoes over medium heat for 20–35 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Drain potatoes and return them to the pot or a large bowl.
  5. Add milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, parsley, and Parmesan.
  6. Mash using a masher or hand mixer, adding horseradish sauce to taste.
  7. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally until browned and nutty.
  8. Pour browned butter into a bowl to stop cooking.
  9. Stir brown butter into the mashed potatoes or drizzle over individual servings.

Notes

Roasted garlic can be used for a sweeter, deeper flavor.

Add cream cheese for extra richness.

Yukon gold potatoes create a naturally buttery mash.

Top with chives or crispy shallots for added texture.
