Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: boil potatoes in 3 c water in medium pan until soft, nearly mushy. drain in colander. put potatoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. using electric mixer, beat on high until fluffy and smooth. beat longer about 3 minutes after you stop seeing lumps to make them light and fluffy. add more salt to taste.

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.
