I enjoyed this twist on mashed potatoes - contrary to other raters, I did not find the amounts of mustard or horseradish to be too much. Paired great with tuna, I think because the mashed potatoes were slightly reminiscent of tartar sauce. Didn't love the color though, as the mustard made the potatoes a dullish brown, and would use less onion..
