Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 2-inch cubes.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until the potatoes are fully submerged.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the minced garlic, butter, sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Cover and keep warm while you prepare the gravy.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and soft.
- Stir in the fresh thyme and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and stir well to combine, forming a paste (roux).
- Cook the roux for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden color.
- Gradually add the white wine to the roux, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Once the wine is incorporated, slowly add the beef broth, continuing to stir to create a smooth mixture.
- Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Start with starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for the creamiest mashed potatoes.
- Roast the garlic beforehand for a milder, sweeter flavor.
- Warm the sour cream and butter before adding them to the potatoes to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Use a potato masher or ricer for the best texture. Avoid over-mixing to keep the potatoes from becoming gluey.
- For the gravy, make sure to cook the flour thoroughly to remove the raw taste and achieve a deep, rich flavor.
- If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it out by adding more beef broth or a splash of water.
- Add salt and pepper to taste at the very end to ensure the seasoning is just right.
Enjoy your garlic mashed potatoes and gravy as a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of mains. This comforting dish will delight your taste buds and is sure to become a staple at your dining table.
