Cheddar Horseradish Potatoes
Recipe Source: Sargento
Cheddar Horseradish Potatoes are a bold and savory side dish that takes classic mashed potatoes to the next level. Creamy mashed potatoes are infused with sharp cheddar cheese and a kick of tangy horseradish, creating a perfect balance of rich, creamy texture and zesty heat. The cheddar adds a melt-in-your-mouth smoothness, while the horseradish provides a spicy, flavorful bite that lingers just enough to excite your taste buds. Topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or additional cheese, these potatoes are the ideal accompaniment to roasted meats, grilled steaks, or any hearty meal that needs a little extra flavor.
Difficulty: EASY
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- (8 oz.) russet or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed, dried
- 1-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil or melted butter
- 1-7/8 cups (7.5 oz.) Sargento® Shredded 4 State Cheddar® Cheese
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup bottled creamy horseradish sauce
- Sour cream (optional)
Directions:
- Working with one potato at a time, cut a thin slice lengthwise from one side of potato so it will lay flat on cutting board. Lay two wooden spoons or chopsticks parallel to each other on cutting board and arrange potato lengthwise between them. Holding spoons against potato, make crosswise cuts, 1/8-inch apart down to spoons. Do not cut ends of potato all the way down or slices will fall off. Place potatoes on parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Brush oil or butter over potatoes.
- Bake in preheated 400°F oven until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine cheese, green onions and horseradish sauce; mix well. Remove potatoes from oven; carefully spoon most of cheese mixture in-between potato slices. Spread remaining mixture over tops of potatoes.
- Return to oven and bake 8 to10 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve with sour cream if desired.
