Mashed Potatoes & Gravy Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into uniform chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Mash the Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. 3

   Make the Gravy

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmering until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Serve

   Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the gravy and serve warm.
