Ingredients
  • 4-6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 teaspoon pink himalayan salt (for cooking water)
  • ½ teaspoon pink himalayan salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup coconut milk or low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoons chives
  • FOR GRAVY:
  • 3 tablespoons butter, olive oil or lard
  • 3 tablespoons rice flour
  • 2 cups reserved water from cooked potatoes (or use broth)
  • ¼ cup pan drippings from cooked meat (ham drippings are especially tasty!)
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or more to taste, optional. This will depend heavily on how flavorful/seasoned the pan drippings are.
Instructions
  1. Place cut potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to about 1 inch above potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 30-40 minutes.
  3. Drain potatoes and reserve 2 cups of the potato cooking water for the gravy.
  4. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand-mixer and blend in salt, pepper, coconut milk (or broth), egg, olive oil and chives.
  5. FOR GRAVY:
  6. Place butter/olive oil or lard in a small saucepan and heat until melted. Add rice flour and whisk to make a thick slurry.
  7. Add reserved potato water (or broth), pan drippings, salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
  8. Boil until thick, about 5 minutes.
Notes
To make-ahead, increase coconut milk/broth by 2 Tablespoons. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove cover, top with bits of butter and bake until top is golden about 1 hour.

This recipe also works with 8-10 medium size potatoes for a larger group. Just double all of the ingredients!
