Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces.

Add the cut potatoes to the boiling water, ensuring the water covers them by 1 inch.

Boil the potatoes until they are soft enough to mash.

Drain the water from the potatoes.

In a pan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream and add 2 crushed garlic cloves, heating without boiling.

Mash the boiled potatoes and mix in the heated heavy cream.

Cook the mashed potatoes for 2-4 minutes until thickened.

Add 4 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup butter to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Check the salt and adjust to taste.

In another pan, add 3 tablespoons of oil and 4 tablespoons of flour, cooking until the flour changes color slightly.

Gradually add the chicken stock (made with 1 chicken cube dissolved in 2 cups hot water) while mixing continuously.

Cook the gravy until it thickens and bubbles appear on the surface.

Add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the gravy and mix well before turning off the heat.
