Here’s a comforting, classic recipe for savory gravy served over mashed potatoes—rich, smooth, and full of flavor 🥔✨
🥔 Savory Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes
🌿 Ingredients
For the mashed potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk (warm)
- Salt to taste
For the savory gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt & black pepper to taste
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the mashed potatoes
- Boil potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain and mash until smooth.
- Add butter, warm milk, and salt.
- Mix until creamy and fluffy. Cover and keep warm.
2️⃣ Prepare the savory gravy
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.
- Add flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes (this makes a roux).
- Slowly pour in broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thick and smooth.
3️⃣ Serve
- Spoon mashed potatoes onto a plate or bowl.
- Pour hot gravy generously over the top.
💡 Extra Tips:
- Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra depth.
- Use pan drippings (from chicken or beef) instead of broth for a richer flavor.
- If gravy gets too thick, just add a splash of broth or water.
If you want, I can also show you a KFC-style brown gravy version or a vegetarian mushroom gravy that tastes just as rich 👍
