1
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3
Make the Gravy
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Serve
Spoon the mashed potatoes into individual serving bowls and top with gravy. Enjoy your delicious side dish!
