Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], 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 cube the potatoes into bite sized pieces. mince the onion. place potatoes, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and chicken stock in slow cooker and cook on low for 7 hours or high for 3 1/2 hours. remove roughly 2 cups of the potatoes using a slotted spoon and set aside. use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients that have been cooking in the chicken stock until smooth. add the remaining ingredients and stir while the cheese melts, immersion blender can be used to ensure a smooth consistency. add the reserved potatoes. garnish with any desired items such as bacon, green onions, more cheese, etc -- and most important, enjoy!
