Ingredients

  • 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/3 cup diced celery hearts
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  •  
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

  3. To the cooked potatoes add the celery and onion, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup cream, celery salt and ground black pepper. With an electric mixer on low, beat until desired consistency is reached.
  4. To make the gravy melt 2 teaspoons butter in a small saucepan. Add flour and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until thickened. Stir in 1/3 cup cream and onion powder; heat through.
