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: boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. drain well. while potatoes are draining, heat half and half, butter, salt and pepper to almost boiling. add potatoes to hot milk mixture, and with a rotary mixer, whip on low speed until lumps are just gone. do not over whip, as potatoes will become creamy. it is better to under mix a little.
