Spareribs:
Heat oven to 450º. Cut strips of ribs into3 rib pieces. Place them on rack in large shallow baking pan or on rack of boiler pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and crumble the bay leaf over them. Roast 30 min or until nicely browned. Put potatoes, onion and parsley in layers in large baking dish about 13 X 9 1/2 X 2 inches while ribs are browning. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and mustard. Drizzle with melted butter. Remove ribs from oven when they are browned and turn oven temperature to 375º. Add boiling water to potatoes to nearly cover. Lay browned ribs on top. Drain fat from pan ribs were browned in and save for gravy. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake 1 1/2 hours or until ribs and potatoes are both very tender. Uncover for the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve ribs and potatoes with mustard gravy spooned over.

Mustard Gravy:
Heat fat in saucepan. Add slice of onion and cook until lightly browned. Discard onion. Sprinkle the flour and cook stirring until flour browns. Remove from heat and blend in mustard. Add water all at once and stir to blend. Return to heat and cook and stir until boiling, slightly thickened and smooth. Stir in vinegar, salt and pepper. Turn heat to low and simmer 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in pickles just before serving over ribs and potatoes.
