What you need
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided, plus 1/2 cup (1 stick), cut into 1-inch cubes, room temperature
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
- Kosher salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 2/3 cup whole milk, warmed
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch scallions, white and pale-green parts only, minced (about 2/3 cup loosely packed)

What you do
- Brush an 8x8x2-inch or other 6-cup baking dish with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and add cold water to cover by 1-inch.
- Add a large pinch of salt; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover with lid slightly ajar and gently simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes; return to same pot.
- Shake and stir with a wooden spoon over very low heat until dry.
- Then, using a potato masher, mash coarsely. Using a hand mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter into potatoes, a few pieces at a time, until blended.
- Beat in cream cheese, adding a few pieces at a time, then horseradish.
- With motor running, gradually add milk, beating until potatoes are light and fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
- Season well with salt and pepper.
- Stir in scallions.
- Scrape potatoes into prepared dish.
- Use a spatula to create peaks across the surface.
- Drizzle potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with paprika.
DO AHEAD
- Potatoes can be made 1 day ahead. Let stand at room temperature to cool. Cover and chill.
- Preheat oven to 350Β°.
- Bake potatoes, uncovered, until they are heated through and top is golden, about 40 minutes (if chilled, add 10 minutes).
