Chef's Notes

Recipe

Great served with roasts, steaks or any protein entree.
If you can’t find horseradish you can leave it out.
If you don’t have palm oil shortening any saturated fat will do!

Taylor ★ 5.0/5

Super interesting flavor combo. A bit of time to prep but made a large portion for multiple meals. The family gobbled it down so that’s a win for me!

Heather ★ 5.0/5

This was absolutely amazing and such a versatile recipe. The flavors were fantastic and were just as good for a couple days after! Sometimes I feel like veggies get weird when you reheat them but I ate this for 3 days straight and just couldn’t get enough!

Keira ★ 5.0/5

I made this to go with pot roast. I left out most of the bacon and used tallow and it was DELICIOUS! So good. I'm going to make this in lieu of mashed potatoes going forward. Thank you, Cristina!

Kasey Riggins ★ 5.0/5

Phenomenal! I loved it so much! You know how to work kitchen magic for sure! Would this freeze? I am the lone ranger eating like this in my family and while I demolished that whole pot in 3 days on my own, freezing would be nice! If not still 100% worth making! I loved it both hot and cold!
