Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Gravy

1. Start by boiling the potatoes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and 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 saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
3. Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and heavy cream. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
6. To serve, spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates and drizzle with the savory gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use starchy potatoes like russets for the fluffiest texture.
• Make sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly to avoid watery mash.
• For extra flavor, warm the cream before adding it to the potatoes.
• Adjust the thickness of the gravy by adding more broth or flour based on your preference.

Easy Variations

• For garlic lovers, add roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes for an extra kick.
• Swap out heavy cream for sour cream for a tangy twist.
• Incorporate cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, into the mash for a cheesy delight.

What to Serve With It

• Roast chicken or turkey for a classic pairing
• Grilled steak or pork chops for a hearty meal
• Vegetarian meatloaf or lentil loaf for a meat-free option
• Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced plate
