The theme for this month's Crazy Cooking Challenge is Mashed Potatoes!! Yummy yummy yummy... I was really excited to create a dish around my favorite side!
My potato recipe was inspired by The Piggly-Wiggly. I knew I wanted to make a bloody mary inspired steak, and horseradish mashed potatoes were the best way to finish my dish. Piggly-Wiggly is a great blog with a variety of different recipes to tantalize your taste buds.
The steak was something I had brewing in my little head for awhile now, bu it needed the perfect dinner setting. We made these bad boys the day before Halloween. Nothing like a creepy meal and a scary movie (Halloween for us!) to get you excited for the holiday.

You said "cheese salt" and not cheese, salt. I did a double take as the thought of an actual 'cheese salt' flashed into my mind. I'd buy that product by the bucket-load if it actually existed!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound kinda awesome! I think they make some kind of powder stuff for popcorn....bloggers can be inventors too! :)
ReplyDeleteVery unique recipe. I love the idea of the white cheddar and the horseradish.
ReplyDeleteYum! Great recipe ... the potatoes and the steak! Oh and the topping too!
