Mashed Potatoes

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Gravy

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add the Broth

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

  3. 6

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving.
