Horseradish and Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes (Aka Van's Favorit

Submitted by hipQuest

"I got tired (but still love them) of Garlic Mashed Potatoes and wanted to try something new, this is what I came up with. Please keep in mind I am a chef who cook's by feel and taste so all measurements are subjective (guess that's why I don't bake much). Use your math and this recipe can be reduced or multiplied easily. Peel on or peel off? Up to you."

I did only half the recipe. We got enough for 4 and we have leftovers. I used store-bough horseradish. And around 1-2 tablespoon of unsalted butter. I used Yukon Gold Potatoes. They are yummy. Thanks HipQuest. Made for Alphabet chef game.
