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, cut up and boil potatoes until tender. drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl. add margarine, sour cream and milk. use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency. the key here is to add salt and pepper to taste. you might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt. pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly. just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it. once that is done, i usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt. then sprinkle parsley over it. this will make the best mashed potatoes i've ever found anywhere.
