Method
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Add the butter and warm milk.
- Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make them gummy.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, making sure to break up any lumps.
- Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings. Serve the mashed potatoes with a generous ladle of gravy.
