Creamy Yukon Gold Potatoes are injected with bold, zesty flavor from horseradish and stoneground mustard- the perfect dish for the adventurous potato lover! Vegan, oil-free, and low-fat.

Ingredients:

• 8 Yukon gold potatoes, washed
• 2 large or 3 small cloves of garlic
• 2 Tbsp stoneground mustard
• 1-2 inches peeled horseradish root (about the width of a quarter)
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 cups unsweetened, plain soy milk
• ½ tsp salt (or salt to taste)

Instructions:

1. Steam the potatoes until they are fork-tender and easily break apart. If using an Instant Pot, cook on high pressure with one cup of water for 12-15 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes). Release the steam when ready to mash the potatoes.
2. In a high-speed blender, combine all other ingredients. Blend until perfectly smooth. if you don’t have a high-speed blender, see notes
3. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with horseradish/soy milk mixture until smooth.
4. Taste and add salt as needed.
5. Garnish with finely diced dill or parsley, if desired.

Notes:

-If you do not like spicy food, start with just one inch of horseradish root. 2 inches yields a very strong horseradish flavor -If you don’t have a high speedl blender, mince the garlic and grate the horseradish before adding it to your blender.

About the recipe:

There are some things of which we need 5,000 variations. Like hummus. And muffins. And mashed potatoes! This is the mashed potato recipe for the potato lover who wants BOLD flavors and a silky, creamy consistency with NO butter, dairy, or oil.

If that’s you, you have a lot in common with my husband…wait, Dan? Is that you?

JUST KIDDING! I’m sure the world is full of healthy vegans (or lactose intolerant people) who want the zesty flavor of horseradish in their mashed potatoes. And who wouldn’t? Horseradish is a cruciferous vegetable!  It has similar health benefits as arugula, kale, and collard greens but with a zesty, tear-inducing flavor.

We enjoy these mashed potatoes with sauerkraut and bbq tempeh, but they would also pair well with pot pies, baked beans, and any summer potluck dishes.

RECIPE NOTES:

1. In my opinion, Yukon gold potatoes are best for mashing, due to their super creamy texture. I prefer to steam or pressure cook rather than boil my potatoes, as it helps the potato maintain it’s starch, which boosts the creaminess and eliminates the need to be drowned in butter and cream.

2. If you are using a VitaMix to make your horseradish/soy milk cream, blend on the “soup” setting.  This will bring the “cream” to a piping-hot temperature. When added to the potatoes, it will keep them nice and hot.

3. If you don’t have a powerful blender, mince the garlic and grate the horseradish before adding it to the blender.  This way, you won’t be biting into giant clumps of horseradish.

4. To play things safe but still get that delicious horseradish flavor, stick to a one inch piece of horseradish root.  To get a stronger, tear-jerking flavor, add a two inch piece. While digging into your mashed potatoes, if you find you need more horseradish, simply grate more into the bowl, then stir to combine.

I hope you enjoy these Zesty Horseradish Mashed Potatoes as much as we have! If you’re going to eat mashed potatoes all the time, you may as well be creative with it, right?
