"I have yet to make this, but it's next on my list. For now, lemme just say....OMG, the photo I saw is insane! A big THANK YOU to Rachael Ray. I'm not a horseradish fan, so I'll have to discover if it's "omittable or substitutable" without suffering major repercussions. Times are estimated."

Well let me be the first to tell you that you MUST hurry and make this recipe! It's good--it's really good. I didn't change a thing but I would be interested in seeing how other people choose to plate this recipe. I used cajun spices for the potatoes and they came out crispy and spicy. My favorite part of this recipe was the dipping sauce. Yum!!!!
