Mashed Potatoes

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Tasso Ham Gravy

  1. 4

    Cook the Tasso Ham

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced tasso ham and sauté until browned.

  2. 5

    Make the Roux

    Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until it turns golden.

  3. 6

    Add the Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
