- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 1/2 cups water, divided
- 3 (1 ounce) packages white gravy mix
- Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, introduce butter, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 20 minutes more.
