I made mashed potatoes tonight and was just going to serve them with butter but my husband wanted gravy. I never really knew how to make gravy without meat drippings (or a packet mix) so I was a little panicky. I found your recipe and had the ingredients so I tried it. The only change I made was that I used chicken stock because that’s what I had. It was SO good and SO easy – took me about five minutes. This will definitely be on our potatoes from now on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
