Beef Mashed Potatoes for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Place cubed potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 12–15 minutes until a fork slides in with zero resistance. Drain thoroughly and let them steam-dry for 2 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until mahogany-colored and crisp on the edges.
3. Add the diced onion to the beef and sauté for 4 minutes until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic for 60 seconds until fragrant.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer on medium-low for 5–8 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
6. Mash the drained potatoes while hot. Fold in the butter, warm cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Beat vigorously with the masher until velvety and smooth.
7. Spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes into bowls and top with the savory beef gravy.
