Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat your oven to 425 F. Get the entire package of bites onto a parchment lined baking sheet and wait for the oven to preheat. Once preheated, cook according to package directions until golden and crispy, flipping as needed.
- In the meantime, add the potatoes to a pot and fill with cold water to cover them. Season with 1 tsp. salt and set the pot on the burner. Bring to a boil and once boiled, set your timer for 12 minutes. Check your potatoes with a fork, they should be almost perfectly cooked. Add the florets to the boiling water and continue until they're soft, about 4 - 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, get the cream and butter in a small, covered pot and set the temperature to medium low. You just want the butter melted and the cream / butter warm.
- Turn off the heat and strain your potatoes / broccoli. Return them to the pot and get the pot back on the burner that is now off. Pour in the warm cream / butter & season with 1/2 Tsp. salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Use a potato masher to mash until creamy, but don't overwork them, some chunks are actually lovely. Swap to a rubber spatula once they're mashed to fold everything together. Taste your taters and adjust the salt, pepper, or butter if needed. Leave covered.
- Prepare the gravy according to package directions. Once it's thickened up & glossy, it's time to serve things up.
- Divide your mash between however many plates you're serving and make a well in the center of each pile of mash. Add some unsalted butter and 1/3 C cheddar. Spoon some gravy over the cheese / mash before nestling some crispy chik'n bites on top. Finish with another generous drizzle of gravy and some green onions. ENJOY!
Notes
- Servings are estimated & depend on everyone's level of hunger. 3 people is probably your best bet for everyone being cozy and full afterwards. 2 is if you're SUPER hungry, and 4 would be a lighter meal.
