The potatoes are just potatoes, but the gravy is salty brown gravy goodness. Which leads to the eternal debate, white gravy or brown gravy. For me I like both, but if there is a choice I will take brown gravy for most things that don't involve biscuits. A bowl of brown gravy to dip steak fries in, that when you know you are at a small resturant in the country, they don't even flinch when you ask for a bowl of gravy to use as a dipping sauce.
