Caramelized Onion and Horseradish Smashed Potatoes

“Caramelized onions give this incredible side dish a subtle sweetness, and the addition of horseradish gives it a little attitude! They make an absolutely fabulous side dish to prime rib, and have become a tradition every year at family holiday gatherings! To save time, the caramelized onions can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, then warmed before adding to the potatoes.”

Great side dish for pork. Did not use vinegar in it, and set the horseradish on the table so everyone could add accordingly. No more boring mashed potatoes at my house-thanx

This was ok.. I did find that the vinegar was a bit overpowering so I would definitely cut back on that. I chopped the onions and used fat free 1/2 and 1/2. Would try again with some changes to our taste.

Simply amazing. I would recommend chopping the onions a little smaller otherwise they are too stringy in the mashed potatoes.

Pretty good. I made these for Easter lunch and they went over well. We thought they were actually a little better the next day.

My husband loves horseradish, so he was thrilled with this. No one else in the family cares for it, so it was only a hit with the Hubby. None the less, this is a great recipe - I loved the caramelized onions in the potatoes.

Wow! This was fantastic. None of the flavors are overwhelming and they blend well. I added some minced garlic (1-2 tsp) to the onions in the last 5-10min of cooking. Otherwise I followed as written. Very flavorful. Will make again for sure!

What a great potato to have on the side of BBQ ribs or prime rib! Thanks for the recipe!**Had to update and change to 5 stars. I make this every time I have bratwurst or ribs. Instead of half and half I use sour cream. I also like to use plenty minced garlic:)

I think i could have had more horseradish, and garlic. It is hard to mix the potatoes and horseradish together without your eyes water!

This recipe is fantastic! The only change I made was to substitute the white wine vinegar to half white cooking wine, half cider vinegar, because I didn't have white wine vinegar on hand. For the small amt. required, I doubt it would have made much difference. But the flavor! I had 3 helpings, my boyfriend loved it as well. I know I'll be making this again & again. Thanks for the recipe! ADD-ON So, I made this again, and it was even better this time. I boiled the potatoes with minced garlic, used skim milk instead of half & half, and this time I sauteed chopped cabbage (about 2-3 cups) in bacon grease 'til tender, and added along with the onions. It was very simaler to Irish colcannon and tasted great with the corned beef I prepared. Everyone who loves horseradish and potatoes should try this dish!

Very nice twist on regular mashed potatoes. I omitted the horseradish (I forgot it), and all 5 of us loved it. Would suggest that the onions are cut up more than just 'sliced into rings' because it was somewhat difficult to eat with long rings. Very good flavor.

This was so decadent. The kids didn't like them but my husband and I fought over the leftovers. Only change I made was adding a couple cloves of minced garlic.

I halved the recipe for my husband and served with roased chicken. I made this because my husband loves horseradish and he loved this recipe, but I'm not a big fan of horseradish and it was only okay for me. I needed some minced garlic for my tastebuds to go WOW! Will definitely, make again, though, for hubby and guests. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy side dish! I did have to add more 1/2 & 1/2 to make it creamy enough and also a bunch more horseradish, because we like spicy! :)

Fantastic recipe! I added a couple of cloves of fresh roasted garlic, but add garlic to almost everything. I also added in a couple of dashes of white pepper!

I thought this was really delicious. When I went to make it I found I had only 1 rather elderly potato. So I made instant mashed and added the seasonings. It was great and my guest had no idea I hadn't made it from scratch!

This side dish was great - my family (kids, too!) liked it...a nice flavor with a little tang, but not too much for those who don't like spice. It didn't take too long to make and didn't have any unusual ingredients, that is nice when you have a family and house to keep up while preparing meals. It made a huge heap and we served it with pork tenderloin and steamed broccoli - it was perfect. I'd recommend it - a nice twist on mashed potatoes...
