Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: start by placing a healthy amount of cold water in a big enough pan to contain and boil your potatoes. place peeled, cubed potatoes in said pan and heat until boiling. cover and reduce heat to a simmer for about 30 minutes until fork tender. drain and place back in pan over heat 30 seconds to remove excess water. place hot potatoes into a large bowl. start mixing the potatoes at medium speed with a mixer (of course they mean hamilton beach mixer, but if you have a hand masher, have at it!) until they are smooth. add sour cream, cream cheese, butter, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper. continue beating (smashing!)until thoroughly mixed. pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

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.
