Red Potato Horseradish Cake

I came across this delicious sounding recipe on the Wild Idea Buffalo web site and can't wait to give this one a try! I left the web site link at the bottom of the post. While there check out their many Bison and side dish recipes along with the on line store for all kinds of great Buffalo cuts!



Red Potato Horseradish Cake
I prepared as recipe suggested, but thought the salt and cream might be a little much, so I added salt to taste, (about 1½ tsp.) during the mashing and used only 2 Tb. of the cream. I did press into a cake and broil as recommended. This was a good dish, but preferred it as a mash, as it left it a bit cleaner in taste .

Ingredients

1 pound red potato, medium sized, cut 1 inch dice, skin on
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard, whole grain
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup chives
1/2 gallon water
1 cup micro greens, available at specialty markets
Preparation

Place potatoes, ¼ to ½ gal water (or just enough to cover potatoes) and 1 tablespoon salt in a heavy bottom pot and bring to a boil.
Allow to simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes until tender.  Drain water and allow to sit in strainer for 5 minutes to allow all water to drain.
Place potatoes, Dijon, horseradish, 2 tablespoons butter, heavy cream, remaining salt, pepper and chives back into the same pot you used to boil potatoes.
With a large kitchen spoon, stir and smash potatoes until mixed but still chunky.  Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Using an ice cream scoop, portion a 3 oz. scoop onto a greased baking sheet.  Form potatoes into a cake shape and top with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter dividing equally among the 10 cakes.
Place potatoes under the broiler for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown
