Potatoes And Gravy With Cheese Food

MASHED CHEESY POTATOES & GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot with salted water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until tender all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Combine the butter, heavy cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the same pot you cooked the potatoes in and melt over low heat. Use a masher to puree the potatoes right back into the pot while still hot. Stir in the sour cream. Add large handfuls of cheese and stir and fold the potatoes over themselves until the cheese melts, then add another handful. If it gets too thick and hard to stir before you've added all the cheese, add a few tablespoons of additional cream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and add the Gravy on top.
• Heat the drippings in a small saucepan (or the meatloaf pan) over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme. Whisk in the beef stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir in the Worcestershire. Simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

OVEN-BAKED MASHED POTATOES AND VEGETABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Begin by preparing the gravy: heat 2 Tbs. butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add red onion, garlic and carrots, and cook for 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and tomato, and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in equal parts vegetable stock and whole milk, then turn up heat to high. As the mixture comes to a boil, add the spinach, peas and broccoli. While still boiling, whisk in the flour gradually.
• Reduce heat so that the gravy is moderately but constantly simmering. Stir in the seasoning (thyme, oregano, black and cayenne pepper) and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Ladle out about 1/4 cup of gravy and very gradually whisk it (by small spoonfuls) in with the egg yolk. This gradual heating up prevents the egg yolk from cooking too quickly when added to the gravy. Once your egg yolk mixture is ready, stir into gravy, followed by the soy sauce. I recommend about 5 tablespoons of light soy sauce, however it may vary depending on personal taste.
• Let the gravy continue to simmer and thicken (the thicker, the better!) as you prepare the mashed potatoes. To prepare potatoes, peel back plastic at the corner of the package and heat on high for 3 minutes in the container. Remove plastic and stir, then continue to microwave for 1 minute. When potatoes are ready, season them with salt and pepper. Grease a large (at least 10" x 13" and 2" deep) casserole dish. Pour the mashed potatoes into the dish and smooth out into one even layer, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Pour gravy over the potatoes, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes (check frequently after 20 minutes to ensure that the cheese does not burn), then remove from heat and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes.
