I tested this out for my family's Christmas dinner and it came out great. I agree that the cream seems to cancel out the horseradish's spiciness, and it never seemed overwhelming at any point. My daughter sensed spicy right away and wouldn't touch it. I'm confident most of my family will love this.

Loved these!!! Can't say enough good things about them! I used a 6.5 oz jar of Reese Prepared Horseradish in place of what the recipe called for because that's all I had. Worked great and was plenty of flavor for my taste buds. I left out the heavy cream because I didn't have any and just dashed a little but of 2% milk in to give the potatoes a little moisture. I used grated garlic salt instead of kosher and I didn't vary the type of potatoes like it called for, but everything was still SO yummy! I served these with Recipe #54257 Meatloaf: Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf! and it made a really good combo- tho the flavors kinda battled= but still good! Thank you for posting WildlifeDi

These were absolutely FABulous. My friends who said they weren't hungry served themselves extras! I altered these slightly by replacing the horseradish with a 1/2 cup of sour cream and adding about 2/3 cup of chives. WIll definitely have to make them again. :)
