VEGAN/ORGANIC GRAVY POTATOES!

It's like mashed potatoes and gravy, only the potatoes aren't mashed. Haha.


Ingredients: (*=Organic)
Potato, russet, diced (*)
Spices and Herbs (Simply Organic/Spicely *)
-Secret ingredient- Curry Powder ;) ..shhh..
Raw Coconut Oil (Artrisana *)

Bean Gravy:
Black/Red/Pinto/Garbanzo Bean Juice (*)
Spices and Herbs (Simply Organic/Spicely *)
Unbleached, Unrefined Flour (Arrowhead Mills *)
Coconut Butter (Earth Balance *)

If you already have some bean water left from cooking beans, save it for this gravy!

To Make Oven-Roasted Potatoes:

Turn oven to 400 degrees F. Dice your potato and place it in an oven-safe glass pan coated in coconut oil. Sprinkle on your spices of choice and put the potatoes right into the oven (no need to pre-heat). Check occasionally to mix up potatoes-some may stick. Oven times vary so to check that they are done (20-30 minutes) choose the largest piece of potato and cut into it (or you could always do a taste-test). If it smashes, it's done!

To Make Gravy:

In a small sauce-pan put two tablespoons of coconut butter, let melt. When it's pretty much melted, put two tablespoons of flour and stir until mixed. You are making a roux. Once combined, add at least a cup of bean juice (or more depending on how thick you like your gravy) and any spices/herbs you like in your gravy. I use Salt, Pepper, and even chili powder sometimes. Stir until it boils then take it off the flame and cover/let sit for a few minutes until it reaches desired thickness.

Pour gravy over potatoes and you are DONE! YUM!
(Optional- Take it to the next level with a few squirts of ketchup.)
