Mashed Garlicky Potatoes with Portobello Gravy

Ingredients

• Portobello Gravy (recipe follows)
• 3 1/4 pounds russet potatoes (4-5 large), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 large cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 tablespoons butter or extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Make the Portobello Gravy.

Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot, cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.

Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add butter (or oil). Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, adding 1/2 to 1 cup of the reserved liquid to make a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a warmed serving bowl and serve with Portobello Gravy.
