Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the sour cream, prepared horseradish, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a dash of your favorite hot pepper sauce. (5 minutes)

02

Step

2 mins

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. For an even bolder flavor, chill for up to 4 hours. (1-4 hours)

03

Step

1 hrs

Before serving, give the sauce a final stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more horseradish for a stronger kick or a touch more salt and pepper to balance the flavors. (2 minutes)

For a smoother sauce, use full-fat sour cream. Light sour cream can also be used, but the texture will be slightly thinner.
The heat level of prepared horseradish can vary. Start with 3 tablespoons and add more to achieve your desired level of spiciness.
Feel free to experiment with different hot sauces to add a unique twist to the sauce. A smoky chipotle sauce or a tangy vinegar-based sauce would be delicious additions.
This sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
