Peel 2 pounds white potatoes and chop them into 1" pieces. Transfer the potatoes to a large saucepan or pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the pot to boiling and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium with the lid slightly askew over the simmering potatoes. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
While the potatoes cook, combine ¼ cup butter and 1 cup whole milk in a microwaveable bowl or 2 cup glass measuring cup. Microwave in 30 second bursts until the milk is warm and the butter has mostly melted.
Drain the potatoes well and use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes, so there are no/very few lumps.
Stir in ¾ cup horseradish cheese, blending with the potatoes. Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the milk mixture a little at a time, until you achieve the consistency you're looking for. Taste for seasonings and adjust as you like.
Transfer the horseradish mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and finish with a pat of butter and 2 teaspoons chives, if desired.
