Ingredients

For Potatoes:

2 pounds white russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 ounces goat cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk, plus more as needed
Salt and white pepper, to taste

For Gravy:

1 (15-ounce) can beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon instant coffee
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons butter, cut into large chunks
Salt and pepper

Directions

For Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and put them into a large mixing bowl. With a handheld mixer on low speed, break up potatoes. Add the goat cheese, butter, and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk and whip potatoes on medium speed. Add additional milk until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

For Gravy: In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and coffee to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add to broth mixture. Cook until the gravy has thickened to the consistency of cream. Whisk in butter 1 chunk at a time. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Gravy minus coffee is good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I wanted to try this recipe so we had gravy with some meat we had, I read the reviews and made it without the coffee and it... was really good. I am going to try it with chicken broth tonight to have with leftover turkey and potatoes (I don't have turkey gravy or else I would use that) also minus the coffee.Read more

Try it without the gravy

These mashed potatoes are creamy. We've had them both for Christmas and Easter and everyone loved them.

Can't understand why
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This didn't turn out fabulous!! I didn't have any goat cheese so I used a port wine cheese ball. I also didn't have any... instant coffee, so I used coffee liqueur. Must be that the cheez ball was made with cheap wine or something.Read more

The gravy tasted too much like coffee
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I'm not sure why that person keeps saying that there is only a "hint" of coffee flavor in the gravy. We thought it was... OVERPOWERING. Coffee was all you could taste.Read more

TOO MUCH WORK
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Making mashed potatoes and gravy from scratch like this is just too much work. I bought some "spuds in a tub" and added some... goat cheese after I microwaved them. I added a Tablespoon of espresso powder to a jar of preprared gravy (if you only use a teaspoonj you'll never even taste it). The subtle hint of coffee was nice, but I think it would go better with another kind of cheese. The potatoes and gravy together weren't that good.Read more
