About Me

My photo
I was raised by my father (God rest his soul) in the valley of Nebraska. The background picture is of the Scottsbluff National Monument I took on a trip home... Thank Goodness I had Czech & German Grandmother's and Aunt's who taught me how to cook, sew and overall be the most giving person ever. The lady in this picture is my Aunty. She passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. and was a huge influence on who I am and how I love. She and My Best Friend inspired this blog... I don't want anything to be forgotten!

Diva's Pour man Potato Water Gravy

Diva’s Memories of Recipes
Potato Water Gravy
Inspiration: Pour man's gravy, but awesome.  We never let anything go to waste and what better way to use the water from your boiled potatoes.  This is also great for people that can't tolerate milk.
Ingredients:
2 cups water from boiled potatoes
2 TB flour
4 TB grease drippings from what ever meat you cooked. (if you didn't get much from the drippings, you can add butter)
salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions:
Add flour to drippings and make a paste.  Add potato water and stir til smooth.  Keep cooking until thickened to the consistency you want. Salt and pepper to taste.

Variation:  I have also added this gravy to soups and stews for the base.
