04 - 120 ml sour cream
05 - 50 g grated Parmesan cheese

09 - 120 g salted butter
10 - 30 g all-purpose flour
11 - 480 ml water
12 - 240 ml whole milk
13 - 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed
14 - 0.5 g ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain thoroughly.
02 - Return drained potatoes to the pot. Mash using a potato masher or electric hand mixer until smooth. Incorporate butter, milk, and sour cream. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined and creamy.
03 - In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for about one minute, allowing the mixture to become golden brown.
04 - Gradually whisk in water and milk. Add crushed chicken bouillon cubes and ground black pepper. Continue stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir until the gravy thickens.
05 - Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Pour gravy over the top and serve immediately.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a richer texture, use Yukon gold or yellow potatoes in place of russet.
02 - If you prefer brown gravy, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon cubes.
03 - For added rustic character, leave the skins on a few of the potatoes.
