Peel and cube potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water by about an inch, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
⏱ 20 min - 2
Drain potatoes thoroughly. Return them to the hot pot. Add butter and milk. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm, covered.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 oval-shaped patties, about 1-inch thick.
⏱ 10 min - 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
⏱ 10 min - 5
Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
⏱ 7 min - 6
Sprinkle flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to create a roux.
⏱ 1 min - 7
Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
⏱ 5 min - 8
Return the cooked Salisbury steak patties to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon gravy over the patties and let them simmer in the gravy for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve immediately with the creamy mashed potatoes.
