Mashed Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy

Mashed potatoes is one of the most simple quick dishes you can make that are guaranteed to hit the spot! Here is a delicious recipe and I wouldn't feel right giving this recipe without my famous mushroom gravy recipe to go with it!

Ingredients:

8 red potatoes

 approximately 1.5 cups of almond milk

salt and pepper

garlic

onion powder

Gravy ingredients:

1 cup of mushrooms

1/3 cup of onion

approximately 1 cup of flour 

approximately 2 cups of veggie broth 

2tbsp of soy sauce

salt and pepper

garlic

Directions:

1. Boil or steam potatoes until they are soft this should take about 40 minutes you want them to basically fall apart. Drain them and put them back in pot.

2. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and onion to your liking then gradually add in almond milk.

3. Mash everything together and adjust the amount of milk for the amount of creaminess you like your mashed potatoes to have. For me its usually about 1 and a half cups maybe more.

4. Cover with a lid and keep on low heat until ready to serve.

5. For the gravy grab a large sauce pan.

6. Dice onion and mushroom and saute them in the pan with a couple tsp of veggie broth, garlic, salt and pepper until the onions are translucent. 

6. Add flour and veggie broth into the pan and whisk away. You control how thick your gravy is by adding more flour or thin it out by adding more broth.

7. Re-season with salt, pepper, and garlic and then add in soy sauce. The soy sauce gives the gravy a nice brown color.

8. Let simmer on medium low heat whisking occasionally until ready to serve!
