Mashed Potatoes and
Gravy
4 large
potatoes
8 tablespoons vegan margarine
3
tablespoons plain soy milk
2/3
cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon
onion powder
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
sage
1/4 teaspoon
basil
1 pinch of pepper
Peel and wash
the potatoes. Cut them into one inch cubes and boil until softened. Drain the
water from the potatoes and add 2 tablespoons of the margarine. Mash the
potatoes until the lumps are gone. Stir in the soy milk. Keep the
potatoes warm on low heat.
Melt 6
tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet on a setting halfway between low and
medium heat. Stir the flour into the margarine until all of the flour is
covered with margarine. Add about 1/2 cup of water and stir until the water is
almost absorbed. Continue adding small amounts of water (about 1/4 cup at a
time) and stirring until the mixture has the consistency of gravy. Stir in
the salt and spices. Pour the gravy over each individual serving of potatoes.
Serves 4 to 6.
