Who can resist mashed potatoes, particularly with steak? You'll love this twist on the classic, with just enough horseradish added to give these creamy spuds a fun kick.

Cooks' Notes:

•Mashed potatoes can be made 2 days ahead (without horseradish). When ready to serve, reheat potatoes in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring in horseradish and, if needed, enough additional milk for desired consistency.
