We spiked these savory mashed potatoes with wasabi powder, and wow, do they have fantastic flavor. They also get their creaminess from an irresistible mixture of reduced-fat milk and sour cream, as well as a touch of butter. Fresh chives and a little bit of salt help bring everything together. We call for adding 1 tsp. wasabi powder, but feel free to increase that amount if you and your guests are feeling bold. These potatoes are excellent with roast chicken, pork, or beef; you'll want to scale everything up so you can keep a batch in the fridge for a handy side at all times.
