Pot Roast over Mashed Potatoes

1. Boil the potatoes: While the roast is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cut potatoes. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Mash the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. You can add sour cream for extra richness if desired.
3. Keep warm: Cover the mashed potatoes to keep them warm while you finish the pot roast.

Assemble the Dish:

1. Serve the mashed potatoes: Spoon the mashed potatoes onto individual plates or a large serving platter.
2. Top with the pot roast: Ladle the shredded pot roast and its flavorful gravy over the mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Tips:

• For extra flavor: You can add additional herbs like garlic or onion powder to the roast or mashed potatoes.
• For crispy edges: If you want a crispy exterior on your roast, you can broil it for 5 minutes at the end of cooking.
• Leftover pot roast: Leftover roast can be used in sandwiches, tacos, or soups for a second meal!
