Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into quarters.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. This will take about 15 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  5. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  6. Add the caramelized onions, garlic, horseradish, and milk to the mashed potatoes. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
