Ingredients
3 pounds
russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
4 teaspoons
sea salt, plus more to taste
1 cup (2 sticks)
unsalted butter, softened
1 cup
heavy whipping cream
⅔ cup
whole milk
¾ teaspoon
garlic powder
1 cup
sour cream
6 tablespoons
prepared horseradish
¼ cup
minced fresh chives
Method
Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and season with 3 teaspoons of the salt. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
To the same pot, heat the butter, cream, milk, garlic powder, and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes over the hot butter mixture. Alternatively, return the potatoes to the pot and mash directly in the liquid, taking care not to overwork them.
Stir in the sour cream, horseradish and chives. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve warm.
