Ingredients

• 7 medium red potatoes, peeled (3 pounds)
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• GRAVY:
• 1 cup meat drippings
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

1. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Add water, olive oil, garlic and parsley to pan. With a mixer, beat potatoes until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, heat meat drippings in a large saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring meat drippings to a boil; gradually stir in flour mixture until smooth. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes.
