Mashed Potatoes

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander. Return them to the pot. Add 4 tbs of butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Gravy

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tbs of butter. Once melted, whisk in 4 tbs of all-purpose flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring constantly.

  2. 5

    Add the Broth

    Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.

  3. 6

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in 1 tbs of soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
