Mashed Potatoes

Gravy

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into even-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Gravy

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

  2. 5

    Make the Roux

    Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is lightly golden and bubbling.

  3. 6

    Add the Broth

    Slowly whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 7

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the gravy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
