Mashed Potatoes

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden, stirring constantly.

  5. 5

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mashed potatoes topped with the gravy.
