Hey Mashed-Tators...Gonna Dress You Up In My Log

I'm making these Mashed Potatoes for Thanksgiving next week, and they will be delic! However, I wanted to add another flavor option and found this awesome recipe in the December issue of Cooking Light! This Horseradish Butter will really dress up any mashed potatoes regardless of the season, and I'm looking forward to the smiles and looks of satisfaction at Thanksgiving dinner.

Ingredients & Recipe:
  • 1 Tbls. minced shallots (similar to onion)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened (not melted)
  • 1 Tbls. fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp. prepared horseradish

Begin by heating a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray, and begin to saute shallots, cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove, set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine & blend together shallots, butter, parsley and horseradish. Transfer butter mix onto a large piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a "log", and wrap tightly. Toss it into the refrigerator until it begins to get firm.

To serve, use a butter knife to slice off 1-2 small tabs of butter per heap of mashed potato. Finish by making a tally list of how many people said "your mashed potatoes with Horseradish butter were the best dish this whole Thanksgiving!"

You Could Also Try...

  • Instead of refrigerating in the plastic wrap, spoon the mixed butter into a small side bowl to firm up.
