Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_carb'], recipe: peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (i like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces). in separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so. add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture. add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil. stir almost constantly or it will scorch. after boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.

Target recipe: cook and crumble bacon, saving drippings in pan. cut potatoes in half, scoop out center. chop half of the peel, discard the rest. cook yellow onion in bacon drippings about 3 minutes. add flour, stirring to prevent lumps, cook 3-5 min until mixture just begins to turn golden. gradually add 2 cups chicken stock, or hot milk, whisking to prevent lumps, until mixture thickens. pour into large sauce pan and add remaining hot liquid. reduce heat to simmer, whisk in potatoes, peels, sour cream, chopped bacon, parsley, garlic powder, basil, salt and pepper (to taste). add cheddar cheese and white part scallions, heat until cheese melts thoroughly. top with chopped bacon, green part scallions, and cheese.
