Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: fill 3 qt sauce pan half way with water. add garlic powder, thyme, and (aprox. 3 tbs) salt. bring to low boil and add potatoes cubed into 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch pieces. let boil until a fork will easily penetrate large pieces. drain off water and add salt and pepper to taste, butter (tastes better that margarine) and milk (carefully). mash potatoes (i use a waffled round hand potatoe masher instead of a mixer because i like lumpy, but that takes some elbow grease). you can work with the ingredients a bit to get the right texture.

Target recipe: wash potatoes and cut off any eyes. do not peel them. cut them in quarters and place in good sized pot. fill with enough water to cover potatoes and add salt. bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 - 25 minutes or until tender. drain water and smash the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher. add cream cheese and half the milk and continue to smash with masher. add egg too if desired (it adds to both the fluffy texture and a nice color). add remaining milk as needed and most of the cheddar cheese. (you might need more milk, depending on your potatoes). add pepper to taste and garnish with remaining cheddar cheese.
