Another turn on spicing up mashed potatoes, this is pretty classic stuff. Darned simple to make and a little more elegant, if decadent in its cholesterol. Frankly, you might be pleasantly surprised with the results if you chose to substitute some of the new tofu based sour cream in this recipe. Buy the best prepared horseradish you can find, as that's what makes the dish.
