Mashed Potatoes
Servings:
Ingredients
5lb Yukon potatoes, peeled
6-8 cups beef broth
3 cloves garlic
75g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter, room temp, cubed
240mL (1 cup) heavy cream
185ml (¾ cup) milk, full fat
garlic powder to taste, optional
freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste
Directions
In a pot, add beef broth and garlic and bring to a boil.
Peel the potatoes, and then add them to the pot while the broth is heating up. The broth should be 1-2” above the potatoes.
Boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are very soft and easy to poke through.
Drain but reserve about a cup of the broth or use broth for gravy.
Leave in the colander to steam dry for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add cream and milk, heat until just before simmer - do not let it boil. Remove from the stove.
Add hot milk mixture, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Gently stir until mixed through. If it’s dry, add some of the beef broth.
Taste for salt and pepper, add more if needed.
Transfer into a serving bowl. Pour gravy over it and serve immediately with anything and everything!
