Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
4 onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup softened butter
¾ cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, and achieved a deep brown color, 15 to 25 minutes. Stir in vinegar and thyme, and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • While the onions are cooking, place cubed potatoes in large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to steam for a minute.
  • To finish the dish, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, and use a potato masher to mix with Dijon mustard, horseradish, salt and cracked black pepper until smooth. Mix in softened butter, caramelized onions, and half-and-half until onions are distributed evenly.

HORSERADISH SMASHED POTATOES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds red-skinned potatoes (about 10), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
2 cups whole milk, plus warm milk as needed
3/4 cup finely grated peeled fresh horseradish (about 8 ounces)
3/4 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the milk, horseradish and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the horseradish is tender and infuses the milk, about 10 minutes (it's OK if the mixture looks curdled). Cover to keep warm.
  • Drain the potatoes well, then return to the pot over low heat. Cook until the excess liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and butter and smash with a potato masher until the butter is melted and the potatoes are mostly smooth but with some chunks. Mash in the milk mixture and parsley until creamy; season with salt and pepper. If the potatoes still seem thick, add more warm milk as needed. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 dried bay leaves
1/3 cup cider vinegar, eyeball it
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 pounds flank steak
2 medium onions
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large green apple
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated or ground, eyeball it
3 pounds red skin potatoes, quartered
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons chives, chopped or snipped
1 (18 ounce) jar cooked red cabbage, available on specialty foods aisle
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups beef stock, about 1/3 of a 1 quart box
1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 gingersnaps, finely crumbled

Steps:

  • Mix bay, cider, sugar, grill seasoning and vegetable oil in the bottom of a large food storage bag, squish it all together until evenly combined. Drop the meat into the bag and move it around to evenly coat it. Let stand 10 to 12 minutes. Preheat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high.
  • Thinly slice 1 1/2 onions and reserve 1/2 onion whole but peeled. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt it. Add the sliced onions to the pan. Peel, core and slice the apple and add it to the onions. Season the apples and onions with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook the apples and onions 5 or 6 minutes, then add cooked red cabbage and combine then reduce heat to low. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Place meat on grill and let a bay leaf remain stuck on each steak. As the meat cooks, the heat will infuse the flavor throughout the meat. Cook steaks about 6 minutes on each side. Then, let meat rest. Discard leaves.
  • While meat cooks, place potatoes in a pot and cover with water, bring water to a boil then salt it. Cook potatoes 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and return to the hot pot. Mash them with sour cream, horseradish and chives and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Potatoes will be thick and spicy. If you like looser mashed potatoes, add a little milk or stock, continue to smash.
  • While potatoes cook, remove the red cabbage to a serving bowl and cover with foil. In the same skillet that the cabbage was cooked in, add 2 tablespoons butter. Melt butter then grate the reserved 1/2 onion with a hand held grater into the butter. Cook the grated onions 2 minutes then add flour and cook a minute more. Whisk in red wine and cook off a minute then whisk in stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in mustard and gingersnaps and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Let sauce thicken a couple of minutes.
  • Thinly slice the flank steak on an angle against the grain. Place a mound of potatoes on each dinner plate. Lay out some sliced flank steak along the edge of potatoes and dress with a ladle of sauer-sauce. Serve red cabbage, apples and onions alongside or in small side dishes.

BUTTER BASTED RIB EYE WITH CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES AND HORSERADISH



Butter Basted Rib Eye with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Horseradish image

Provided by Eric Greenspan

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
Four 2-inch thick boneless rib eye steaks
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Horseradish, recipe follows
Oil, for frying
1 pound fingerling potatoes
Salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat.
  • Salt each rib eye on 1 side. Place salt-side down in the pan and sear until brown, about 4 minutes (you may have to do in batches or use multiple pans). Salt the top side of the rib eyes and turn over. Cook until brown on the flip side, about 3 more minutes. Add the butter to the pan and allow to foam. Add garlic and thyme and baste steaks with butter. Cook, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes and continuing to baste, until desired internal temperature is reached, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Serve with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Horseradish.
  • Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Cover the fingerling potatoes with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Strain. Using the back of a spatula or wooden spoon, slightly smash each potato until skin splits and potatoes are about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick but still intact.
  • Deep-fry potatoes until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a sheet pan fitted with a rack to drain slightly.
  • Add sour cream, horseradish and mayonnaise to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Transfer potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle with horseradish cream mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Avoid using waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes, as they will not mash well.
  • Use fresh horseradish: Fresh horseradish has a much more pungent flavor than prepared horseradish, so it is important to use it if you want your potatoes to have a real kick. If you can't find fresh horseradish, you can substitute prepared horseradish, but use less of it, as it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not so much that they fall apart. If you overcook them, they will become gummy.
  • Mash the potatoes with butter and milk: This will help to make them creamy and smooth. You can also add other ingredients to the potatoes, such as garlic, sour cream, or cheese.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Smashed potatoes are best served hot, so make sure to serve them as soon as they are finished cooking.

Conclusion:

Horseradish smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and have a bit of a kick from the horseradish. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
