Peel and quarter the Russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot potatoes and mash using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth.
Gradually add whole milk, mashing between additions, until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with 1 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, bring the gluten-free chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the broth while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a gravy consistency.
Season the gravy with onion powder, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
Once the gravy is thickened and well-flavored, remove it from heat.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, topped with the gluten-free gravy.
