ingredients
- 1 lb unpeeled red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 large red potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 3 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons light butter
- 1 tablespoon bottled horseradish (to taste)
- black pepper
directions
- Place the potatoes in a medium pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Place the pot over high heat and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes, covered until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Just before the potatoes are cooked, combine the half-and-half, butter, and horseradish in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low for 1 to 2 minutes, until the butter is melted.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Use a potatoes masher or large fork to smash the slightly. Pour in the half-and-half mixture and continue to mix until the potatoes are smashed, leaving some lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Delicious! I used a dash of EVOO instead of the butter and added some chopped green onions. The horseradish really waked up the taste of the potatoes. I also used fatfree half-and-half to save even more calories. I will be making this again! -
Loved these smashed potatoes and so did my DH!!! I added a bit more horseradish than the recipe calls for because we love the taste. They were so easy to make and the horseradish just put the taste over the top. Made for the AUS/NZ Make My Recipe tag, November, 2011. -
The horseradish makes these potatoes special. Yum, yum and yum! I made a triple batch and we loved every bite. Served with Recipe #113404 and Recipe #445214. Thanks for posting.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
