Ingredients
For mashed potatoes
- 3 pounds white potatoes peeled and quartered
- kosher salt
- ¼ pound unsalted butter
- 1 cup half-and-half
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the gravy
- ¼ pound unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onions chopped
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups chicken stock warmed
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half
Instructions
For the mashed potatoes
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain.
- Melt the butter in the half-and-half over medium-low heat.
- Place potatoes in the bowl of a mixer. Use the paddle attachment on low speed to mash the potatoes.
- Slowly add the butter and half-and-half mixture, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until mashed but not smooth.
For the gravy
- Saute the butter and onions over medium-low heat in a large saute pan, about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly browned. (Make sure they are browned. If it takes longer than 15 minutes, so be it. Don't rush it!)
- Whisk the flour into the pan and add salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring.
- Add the chicken stock and cook another 4-5 minutes, until thickened.
- Add the cream. Stir and serve.
