One of the best mashed potato recipes I've ever made! I used light butter and fat free sour cream to cut fat and calories and subbed minced scallions for the parsley. With veggie broth and almond milk, this was the perfect side dish for grilled salmon with dill-dijon sauce!
Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Horseradish Butter
"I wanted to contribute some big flavors to the menu. Horseradish is such a pungent ingredient that a little goes a long way, and the bay leaf infuses the potatoes with no added sodium." --Kellie Gerber Kelley, Senior Food Stylist
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup potatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons horseradish butter)
