Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Russet potatoes
- 8 whole Garlic cloves
- 6 tbsp Butter
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 oz Portobello mushrooms
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, fold the foil into a packet, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and golden.
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic, 4 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Cover and keep warm.
Chop the portobello mushrooms and onion into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce and fresh thyme.
Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the mashed potatoes on a plate or in a bowl and top generously with the portobello gravy. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
