- 1 batch homemade KFC Gravy
- 1.5 kg / 3lb Sebago (Aus dirt brushed), Russet (US), Maris Piper (UK) ( or other starchy potatoes)
- 1 tbsp salt ((for water))
- 75 g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup (125ml) cream (heavy / thickened)
- 3/4 cup (185ml) milk, full fat
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
Steps
Peel and cut potatoes into 3cm / 1.25" cubes.
Place in a pot, add 1 tbsp salt and water so it's 5cm / 2" above potatoes.
Bring water to a boil, then boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are very soft and starting to fall apart.
Drain, leave in colander to steam dry for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add cream and milk, heat until just before simmer - do not let it boil. Remove from stove.
Pass potato through a potato ricer (Note 1) or use a masher with holes. Do not use beater - will make it dense.
Add hot milk mixture, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. GENTLY stir until mixed through.
Taste for salt and pepper, add more if needed.
Transfer into serving bowl. Pour over Gravy and serve immediately with anything and everything!
For a KFC at home experience, serve with homemade Fried Chicken (it's better than KFC!)
