INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons pan drippings
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Immediately after removing meat from a roasting pan or other pan, drain off the drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle the flour over drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until brown. Gradually stir in milk, whisking with a fork to scrape up all of the meaty bits from the pan, then gradually whisk in the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
If no pan drippings , use beef boullion or a base for gravy.

Drain the drippings from the pan into a sauce pan and use a spoon to siphon off any grease. Next fill a cup with water and add a teaspoon- teaspoon and a half of cornstarch and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved (not lumpy). Then pour the cornstarch into the drippings in the saucepan, turn the stove on medium high and stir well. If you want the gravy to be thicker, mix a little more cornstarch into half cup water. There's your homemade gravy.

CostCo has a great powdered gravy that is easy to make in the microwave though what you buy is more like a six-month supply. Frenches makes a really nice powdered gravy in a variety of flavors and again can be made in the microwave. There is bottled gravy by Petridge Farms but I don't like the taste.
Easy at home gravy - put a little butter/margarine in a pan, melt and add about two table spoons of flour. Stir contantly until the flour is browned as dark as you wanted (My grandmother like to make what we thought as little kids as burnt gravy). Then slowly aadd hot water (about one cup) and boil until the consistency you want the gravy.

your choice of gravy for potatoes really depends on what's being made with it, pork or chicken, i'd go with a chicken gravy, beef gravy with beef. Making gravy is very easy. There's two ways to make gravy.
1. Mix equal parts fat (butter, grease, etc.) and flour into a paste, this is called a roux (roo). Allow the roux to cook for a few minutes so that it doesn't taste like flour. Then stir in water, milk, or broth (From either the meat or canned or from boullion cubes). Bring mixture to boil, stirring frequently and allow to thicken to your desired thickness.Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Bring broth to boil. In a small bowl mix 2 tbsp. corn starch with 3 tbsp. water, forming a slurry. Pour slurry into broth and bring back to boil. Stirring constantly, allow to thicken to desired thickness. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I like the one from Boston Market. Making it yourself is easy, take the drippings form roast and seive off fat. Then take heat the broth add salt and pepper to taste (any other seasonings sometimes I add onion powder) and begin to sprinkle in corn starch or flour. Do a little at a time to avoid lumpos and stir well, until it becomes as thick as you want.

This only takes a couple of minutes to make: You take whatever meat you are making (turkey, beef, etc.) and the liquid from cooking it, the broth ( you can also buy just meat broth in the store) and you mix it with flour and milk over medium heat.
Flour adds the thickness.

Heinz has a good one but there are some good packages that are really good also. Pioneer brand is a good one.
