Mashed Potatoes & Mushroom Gravy Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

2. 2

   Mash the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Cook the Mushroom Gravy

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

4. 4

   Add Mushrooms

   Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Make the Gravy

   In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add vegetable broth, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, bringing it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the gravy thickens.
