Canned or frozen lobster can be used for this side dish, but it will be tastiest if you use a fresh, steamed Atlantic lobster tail.

Ingredients

  • 2 (1 lb/.5 kg each) large potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
  • 2 tbsp  ( 30 mL ) butter
  • 1/4 cup  (50 mL)  buttermilk or sour cream
  • 3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  bottled horseradish
  • 1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  each salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  lobster

Preparation

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes, covered, for 20 minutes; drain well and return pan to burner for 30 seconds or until bottom of pan is dry. Mash potatoes with a hand-held masher or a potato ricer until almost smooth, then return cooked potatoes to pan. Mix potatoes with butter, buttermilk, horseradish, salt and pepper. Whip by hand using a wooden spoon until fluffy. Fold in lobster. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Reheats well. Dana’s tip: To cook lobster, bring a large pot full of salted water to a boil. Add a few lemon slices and the lobster. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes or until shell turns pink. Remove from water and let cool enough to handle. Use kitchen shears to cut through underside of tail. Remove meat and chop coarsely.
