Recipe
Let’s make the Mashed Potatoes & Gravy just like KFC at home by following the simple steps.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds of russet or Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic (optional)
- ⅓ cup of melted salted butter
- 1 cup of milk or cream (warmed)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
How to Make Mashed Potatoes?
- Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place the pieces in a large pot filled with cold, salted water.
- If you’d like a garlicky twist, add the garlic cloves into the pot as well.
- Bring the pot to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they’re tender. You can check by piercing a potato with a fork; it should slide in easily.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly, letting them sit for a few minutes to remove excess water. You can place them back in the warm pot briefly to evaporate any remaining moisture.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk or cream in a small saucepan or microwave. Warm dairy blends better with the potatoes and keeps your mash piping hot.
- Add the melted butter to the drained potatoes. Begin mashing by hand using a potato masher to ensure a fluffy texture and to avoid making the mixture gummy.
- Gradually pour in the warmed milk as you mash. Add just enough until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final mix to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your creamy mashed potatoes!
Review
Once I tasted the amazing mashed potatoes from KFC. I was really satisfied with the smooth and creamy texture of it. The texture was not too thick or runny. Its flavor was also mild and comforting which was exactly the same as I had expected from this dish.
I enjoyed how KFC paired it well with the gravy, but it was also tasty on their own. However, it contains milk and soy as allergens.
Each spoonful felt warm and delicious, and I really enjoyed it. You can enjoy it as a side item or a quick snack. I really loved it, I will order it again.
