Potato Ricer

Ingredients

4 lbs potatoes, peeled and dice into 1" cubes *Note 1
2 bay leaves
kosher salt
2½ cups sour cream
8 oz unsalted butter, room temperature *Note 2
4 tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tbsp heavy cream
½ tsp white or black pepper
Garnish: chopped chives

Instructions

Fill a large pot with water, 2 tbsp kosher salt and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, add the diced potatoes and let cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
Remove the bay leaves and drain the cooked potatoes.
If using a potato ricer - rice the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. If not, transfer the potatoes directly to the mixing bowl after draining.
Add the sour cream, butter, horseradish, heavy cream, 2 tsp kosher salt and pepper and use a hand masher to blend. Do not over-mix as the potatoes will become gluey. Taste and add more horseradish and/or salt, to taste.
Garnish with chives and serve.

Notes

Note 1 - Use your favorite potato: Yukon, Russet and Red all work beautifully. You can also keep the peels on, if desired.

Note 2 - If using salted butter, cut the salt added to the potatoes by half. You can always add more after blending.
