Horseradish Mashed Potatoes
This is my go-to when regular mashed potatoes feel boring - the horseradish gives them a kick without being overwhelming. They're rich, creamy, and way more interesting than what most people bring to dinner.

Notes
Start with 1 tsp salt and adjust to taste. Potatoes need more seasoning than expected.
