Tips:
- For extra creaminess, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Adjust the amount of wasabi powder according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less and add more gradually.
- These mashed potatoes pair perfectly with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a side dish for your favorite Asian-inspired meals.
- To make ahead, prepare the mashed potatoes as instructed, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat them on the stove until warmed through, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to restore creaminess.
