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: peel potatoes. place in a large pot of salted cold water. bring to a boil. boil 25 minutes, or until tender. they should provide no resistance when poked with a fork. during the last five minutes of boiling, peel your banana. take a bite (a whole banana is a little overwhelming, but a banana with a big bite taken out does just right). drop the rest of the banana in the water with the potatoes and let it boil with them for the last five minutes. this softens it. drain the potatoes and banana and place in a large bowl. add the butter and a little half and half and cream with a hand mixer. add half and half as needed to get a creamy texture. add salt and pepper to taste. these are great with lots of fresh cracked black pepper. enjoy!
