Mashed Garlicky Potatoes with Portobello Gravy

3755521.jpg
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

The creamy texture of these mashed potatoes is achieved without using cream or milk. The secret is to use the cooking liquid to moisten the puree, adding just a small amount of butter or olive oil to provide a luxurious finish. A rich-tasting mushroom gravy adds old-fashioned comfort.
