Chicken breast steak with mashed potatoes and gravy!!

 Step 2: Make the mashed potatoes

1. Boil the potatoes  – Place the peeled, diced potatoes in a large pot and cover  with cold water  . Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook  for 15-20 minutes  , or until fork tender.
2. Drain and mash  – Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
3. Add the butter and cream –   Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy while adding the butter and warm cream .
4. Seasoning  – Add salt, black pepper, and garlic to taste.

 Tip:  For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use a hand mixer or potato masher instead of a traditional potato masher!

Step 4: Make the Country Sauce

1. Set aside the fat  – After frying the steaks, leave about  ¼ cup of oil and the browned bits  in the pan.
2. Make a stir-fry  – Add  ¼ cup of flour  to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about  1-2 minutes  , until golden brown.
3. Gradually add the milk  – Slowly pour in  2 cups of milk  , stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Season and thicken  – Add  salt, black pepper, and garlic powder  , then continue stirring  for 3-5 minutes  until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.

 Tip:  If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk to thin it out. If it is too thin, let it cook for another minute or two!

Step 5: Serve and enjoy!

1. Place a generous  portion of mashed  potatoes on a plate.
2. Place the crispy  chicken fried steak next to it.
3. Pour  warm country gravy  over both the steak and the mashed potatoes.
4. Garnish  with fresh parsley  or  black pepper  , if desired.

Closing thoughts

Chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy is the perfect  Southern-style  meal, crispy, creamy and delicious. The crispy steak pairs beautifully with the rich and creamy gravy, while the buttery mashed potatoes complete the meal.

Pro tips for the best chicken fried steak:

 Use cube steak  – It’s already tender, making it ideal for frying. Double-flour  – Dredging the steak twice will give it a crispier crust. Keep the oil hot  – Keep it at a constant  temperature of around 175°C  for even cooking. Let the steak rest  – This will keep the coating crispy and prevent it from getting soggy.
