If you’ve ever craved the creamy, comforting taste of KFC's mashed potatoes and gravy, this recipe is for you. It uses simple ingredients to recreate that beloved side dish right at home. Using fresh potatoes and a savory gravy, you'll get the same delicious experience without needing to head to the drive-thru.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and add the 1.50 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. You can check for doneness by piercing a potato chunk with a fork; it should go through easily.
- Drain the water from the pot.
- Add the 1/3 cup of milk (3.25% fat), 3 tablespoons of butter, and 2 teaspoons of salt to the potatoes.
- Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If they seem too thick, you can add a bit more milk until they reach your preferred texture. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add 1.50 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a golden-brown color. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the 1 cup of chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Once the broth is fully incorporated and smooth, gradually add the 1 cup of milk (2% fat) and whisk until well combined.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
- Taste the gravy and add salt if needed.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto serving plates.
- Ladle the hot gravy over the top of the mashed potatoes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Mock KFC Mashed Potatoes and Gravy!
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for fluffy mashed potatoes.
- For a smoother consistency, use a potato ricer or food mill.
- Warm the milk and butter before adding them to the potatoes to keep them creamy.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if your chicken broth is already salted.
- Let the gravy simmer long enough to thicken, but stir constantly to avoid lumps.
With this mock KFC mashed potatoes and gravy recipe, you can enjoy a comforting and familiar taste right from your own kitchen. Whether serving as a side for a weeknight meal or a special occasion, these mashed potatoes and gravy are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
