Mashed Potatoes

  • 8-10 yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 4 tsp of salted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Rinse meat under cold water to get rid of any left over meat juices and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat pan with olive oil on high heat.
  • Season meat with flour, sea salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Coat both sides and place roast on a frying pan to brown.
  • Once brown, flip over and let sizzle to brown the other side.
  • You can also brown sides of roast if you wish.
  • Once meat has been browned, place in a crockpot on high heat.
  • Take sliced onion and place in the same pan where you browned your beef chuck with fresh thyme, rosemary, parsley and bay leaves. Let sauté for 2-3 minutes to capture all the left-over flavor from the pan.
  • Shut off heat and toss onion mixture into the crockpot on top of roast.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and remainder of ingredients. Mix well and place the lid over the crockpot.
  • Cook for 6-8 hours.
  • Prepare your potatoes by peeling and cutting them into cubes. Rinse and place in pot. Add salt and bring potatoes to a boil. Follow instructions above in my blog post on how to check if your potatoes are cooked.
  • Once cooked, drain potatoes in a colander.
  • Use a food mill or potato ricer to get a nice, smooth, lump free mashed potato.
  • In a small saucepan, heat up milk and 4 tsp of salted butter. Add milk and butter to mash potatoes slowly until you reach your desired texture.
  • Ladle roast over a bed of mashed potatoes.
  • Bom apetite! Enjoy your meal!
