    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    1. Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

    Make the Gravy

    4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
