Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, creating a roux.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Keep warm on low heat.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot.

Step 9

Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Serve the mashed potatoes with the gravy poured on top or on the side.
