My daughter made these for dinner last night and they were great. We used much less horseradish and butter and they were still very flavorful. Thanks for posting!

I made this with totally different proportions and horseradish from a jar that my DH brought from his journey to Scotland. It is really nice!

My sister made these and they were wonderful so I had to have a base recipe for them. They are amazing with a nice roast also! It's just a wonderful way to add to mashed potatoes!

Very good mashed potatoes! I added the garlic to the potatoes while boiling rather than to the milk. Loved the addition of the horseradish!
