Equipment

  • Potato Masher
  • Pot(s)

Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • tsp salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper to Taste
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp horseradish or more to taste
  • Green part of 3 green onions chopped

Instructions

Instant Pot Cooking Instructions

  • Wash and peel the 4 potatoes. Cut the potatoes into eights, making equal sized pieces. Add 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot and add your potatoes. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, then set to MANUAL or HIGH for 6 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a Quick Release. Drain any remaining water, then follow the assembly instructions.

Stovetop Cooking Instructions

  • In a large pot, boil the potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork. Drain the potatoes and then place them back into the pot. Then follow the assembly instructions.

Assembly Instructions

  • Add 2 tbsp melted butter and ¼ cup milk and mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (¼ cup sour cream, ⅓ tsp salt, ground pepper to taste, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp horseradish, 3 chopped green onions) into the potatoes, and use a spoon to mix until well combined, adding more horseradish if you like a stronger flavor.

Notes

Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational and personal use. 
  • Potatoes: I use Russet or Idaho potatoes
  • Sour Cream: You can use light or normal sour cream, but the potatoes will have a better texture with normal sour cream
  • Green Onions: They are also called scallions. These are optional, but delicious.
  • Horseradish: You can buy horseradish fresh, but I normally buy it in the jar.
  • You can also use an Instant Pot to cook your potatoes. See the instructions in the recipe card for guidance.
  • This recipe was made using an 8 qt Instant Pot, but measurements will work the same in a 6 qt.
  • You can use a potato ricer if you so choose, or just use a potato masher
  • To store, put in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
