Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and chop potatoes into uniform chunks.
  2. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. While potatoes cook, combine beef gravy, dried thyme, and black pepper in a 2-quart saucepan.
  5. Heat the gravy mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add sliced deli roast beef to the saucepan with the gravy.
  7. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes until the beef is heated through and flavors meld. Do not boil vigorously to keep meat tender.
  8. Drain cooked potatoes well and return them to the hot pot to steam dry for 1 minute.
  9. Mash potatoes until smooth.
  10. Add butter and warm milk to the mashed potatoes.
  11. Stir in minced garlic and mash until creamy and well combined. Season with salt to taste.
  12. Serve the hot beef and gravy mixture alongside the garlic mashed potatoes.

Note

Storage: Store leftover beef gravy and mashed potatoes separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to the potatoes if needed.

Substitutions: You can use leftover roasted beef instead of deli slices for a deeper flavor. Swap low-fat milk for heavy cream for richer mashed potatoes. Fresh thyme can be used in place of dried, using 1 tablespoon chopped.

Tip: For extra flavor, sauté the minced garlic in a teaspoon of butter before folding it into the mashed potatoes. Ensure the beef gravy is not boiling when adding the sliced beef to prevent it from becoming tough.
