Now that the squash casserole has been mixed and is ready to be thrown into the oven when we get down to my parent's house, I'm on to the different forms of mashed potatoes I'm bringing down to my parent's house. Because I'm kind of winging the potatoes and they will consist of many different ingredients, combined with the web 2.0 nature of the post I'll call them mashup potatoes.

First up, the horseradish variety. And I'll try to capture the ingredients as best as I can, but a lot of this will be done by guess and taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 baking potato
• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 sweet onion
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 diced clove of garlic
• 3 tablespoons of prepared horseradish
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Boil the potatoes and onion together until soft. You can peel the potatoes or leave the skin on, it's entirely up to you. In this case, I peeled the baking potato and one of the sweet potatoes (forgot to do the other) before throwing them into the pot. Meanwhile, go ahead and melt the butter, and mix it with the garlic and horseradish to be mixed in when done. Once the potatoes are soft, drop them into the mixer and pour your mixture on top of them, adding your salt and pepper. Mix together until well blended, and poof, done. You can then throw them into the oven for 20 minutes to heat up before serving.

But first, the family and I are heading to the coffeeshop to watch the Del Ray Turkey Trot.
