Clo’s To-Die-For Mashed Potatoes
Good Gravy!
Gravy. It’s mashed potatoes best friend and one of life’s simple pleasures.
Surprisingly easy to make, our favorite savory condiment adds another layer of delicious flavor to whatever it tops thanks to lots of Clover Organic Unsalted Butter. Pour it generously on turkey, chicken fried steak, stuffing and of course, potatoes!
This basic recipe is perfect as is, or can be easily enhanced by adding different herbs of your choice (think thyme, rosemary or sage). Feel free to experiment and tantalize your taste buds.
