Ingredients

• 2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

How to Make Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Gravy

1. In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking constantly for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
3. Gradually stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Then, add the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return to the pot. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and heavy cream. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. To serve, spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates and drizzle the savory gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose starchy potatoes like russets for the fluffiest texture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes.
• Make sure to warm the cream before adding it to the potatoes to keep them hot and creamy.
• Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more broth or flour as needed.

Easy Variations

• For a cheesy twist, mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese while mashing the potatoes.
• Try adding sautéed mushrooms to the gravy for an earthy flavor.
• For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with milk or a plant-based alternative.

What to Serve With It

• Roast chicken or turkey for a classic pairing.
• Meatloaf or beef stew for a hearty meal.
• Grilled vegetables for a balanced plate.
• A side salad to add freshness.
