Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: peel potatoes and quarter. in a saucepan cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch and simmer 15 minutes, or until just tender. drain potatoes in a colander and let stand 5 minutes. finely chop white and light green parts of scallions. finely chop parsley. in saucepan heat oil and chopped scallions over moderate heat until oil begins to sizzle and add potatoes. with a fork lightly crush potatoes into scallion oil (do not mash completely). season potatoes with salt and pepper and stir in parsley.

Target 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.
