Peel and cut the russet potatoes into even chunks and place them in a large pot.
Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are covered. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven according to the vegetarian chicken nuggets package instructions.
Place the vegetarian chicken nuggets on a baking sheet and cook as directed, usually around 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
In a medium saucepan, prepare the vegetarian brown gravy according to the packet instructions, mixing with 1.5 cups of water. Stir continuously over medium heat until it thickens. Keep warm.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly. Return the potatoes to the pot, add the unsalted butter, whole milk, salt, and black pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Microwave the frozen corn for about 2-3 minutes or until hot, stirring halfway through.
To assemble, scoop the mashed potatoes evenly into individual bowls.
Top each bowl with a serving of hot corn, followed by 2 crispy cooked chicken nuggets, broken into pieces.
Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken nuggets.
Drizzle a ladleful of warm vegetarian gravy over everything.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
