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: peel and slice the potatoes. put potatoes into a soup pot with water, onions, and bay leaf. simmer covered for 45 minutes. puree soup in batches. add half and half, salt, and pepper. also add smoked sausage if using. cook for 15 minutes on low just until heated thoroughly without scalding the half and half. add butter and serve.
