Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Chicken bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes over low heat using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth.
Add the unsalted butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir or beat until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To make the gravy, dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in 2 cups of hot water, stirring until fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry.
Heat the chicken bouillon mixture in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the slurry until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the gravy with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve the warm mashed potatoes in bowls, topped generously with the savory gravy. Enjoy your homemade KFC-style mashed potatoes!
