Rich Gravy on Fluffy Mashed Potatoes is the ultimate comfort side dish! Smooth, buttery mashed potatoes are topped with a savory, hearty gravy for a satisfying treat.
Ingredients:
For the Mashed Potatoes:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup heavy cream
4 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Rich Gravy:
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Cook the potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and mash with heavy cream, butter, milk, salt, and pepper until fluffy.
Make the gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Slowly add the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve the gravy hot over the fluffy mashed potatoes.
Helpful Tips:
For creamier mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
Add a splash of red wine to the gravy for extra depth.
