1 Make the Mashed Potatoes
Peel and cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.
Bring a medium pot with 1 tsp. salt and potato chunks covered by water to a boil.Once boiling, cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander/strainer and return to pot.Add 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 cup reserved potato cooking water, a pinch of pepper, and half the creme fraiche (reserve remaining for gravy). Mash until smooth. If too thick, add additional reserved potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.While potatoes cook, continue recipe. -
2 Prepare the Steaks
Place panko on a plate and spread into an even layer.
Pat steaks dry. Cover with plastic wrap and use a heavy object to pound to an even 1/4" thickness. Gallon bags make clean up easier and are made of thicker plastic. If you don’t have a disposable bag, use plastic wrap.Unwrap steaks and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Evenly spread mayonnaise on both sides.Transfer steaks to plate with panko and flip until coated on both sides, pressing gently to adhere. -
