Best Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes With Beef Coffee Gravy Recipes

GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the potatoes, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender.
• Drain the potatoes and garlic and process them together through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade set on top of a bowl. While the potatoes are still hot, stir in the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, half-and-half, 4 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve hot.

COTTAGE PIE (OR SHEPHERD'S PIE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make mashed potatoes: Add potatoes to a saucepan with 3 inches of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
• Drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot. Cover with the lid and allow to steam for a few minutes.
• Mash the potatoes lightly with a potato masher (avoid over-mixing the potatoes). Add butter, sour cream, milk, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper and stir just until smooth. Set aside.
• Make the meat filling: In a large, oven-safe* 12 inch skillet with sides, add the ground beef and ground sausage (or ground lamb, to make shepherd's pie). Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat until browned, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain some of the grease (reserving some in the pan) and remove meat to a plate.
• Add the onion, celery and carrots to the pan and saute for about 5-8 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and flour and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, herbs and bay leaves and stir to combine.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and add extra seasonings, if needed. Remove bay leaves and stir in frozen peas, corn and cooked meat.
• Assemble the pie: Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture to completely cover the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving, to allow the gravy sauce in the meat mixture to cool and thicken.

MASHED CHEESY POTATOES & GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot with salted water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until tender all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Combine the butter, heavy cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the same pot you cooked the potatoes in and melt over low heat. Use a masher to puree the potatoes right back into the pot while still hot. Stir in the sour cream. Add large handfuls of cheese and stir and fold the potatoes over themselves until the cheese melts, then add another handful. If it gets too thick and hard to stir before you've added all the cheese, add a few tablespoons of additional cream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and add the Gravy on top.
• Heat the drippings in a small saucepan (or the meatloaf pan) over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme. Whisk in the beef stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir in the Worcestershire. Simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

• Drain and return potatoes to saucepan over medium-low heat; add milk and goat cheese. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper; fold in scallions, and serve.
