I wouldn't use the water from potatoes - too starchy ! For *real gravy*, just follow the method shown in this link. You can add water from your other vegetables, just not the starchy ones.

I agree: no nasty potato water, yuk. Use the veg water and juices from the meat and you can't go wrong. If you steam your veg, use the water from the bottom pan, but don't put the spuds in that one. Hope it goes OK.
