Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Peel potatoes and dice them into equal pieces. |
| 2 | Place the diced potatoes in a pot with cold water, ensuring they are covered by at least two inches of water. |
| 3 | Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Be mindful not to overcook them; the water should remain clear and not become cloudy. |
| 4 | Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. |
| 5 | Add the sliced butter to the potatoes and allow it to melt. |
| 6 | Warm the heavy cream slowly in the same pot used to cook the potatoes. |
| 7 | Whip the potatoes and butter until they are smooth or reach your desired consistency. |
| 8 | Slowly incorporate the warm heavy cream into the mashed potatoes while continuing to whip. |
| 9 | Season the mashed potatoes with salt to taste. |
| 10 | In a large sauté pan, heat pure olive oil over high heat. |
| 11 | Once the oil begins to ripple, add the sliced organic mushrooms to the pan. |
| 12 | Allow the mushrooms to brown on one side without moving them, then turn them over to brown on the other side. |
| 13 | Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan. |
| 14 | Once the garlic is lightly golden, drain any excess oil from the pan. |
| 15 | Dust the pan with flour and whisk it into the remaining oil to create a roux. |
| 16 | Slowly add milk to the roux while whisking continuously until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. |
| 17 | Season the mushroom gravy with salt to taste. |
| 18 | If the gravy is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding more milk. If it’s too thin, continue to reduce it over low heat until it thickens. |
