Mashed Potatoes

Gravy

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Mash Until Smooth

    Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Gravy

  1. 5

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.

  2. 6

    Add Broth

    Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while continuing to whisk. Make sure there are no lumps.

  3. 7

    Season the Gravy

    Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the gravy. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Once thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the gravy warm over the mashed potatoes.
