Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 0 water
• 0 salt
• 2 large onions
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0 salt
• 0 pepper

Instructions

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the French onion gravy. Slice the onions thinly.
5. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes.
6. Add flour to the onions and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Gradually add beef broth to the onion mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
8. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth and creamy.
9. Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the mashed potatoes topped with the French onion gravy.
