Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. place into cold salted water, enough to cover, and boil until tender. mince onions and garlic while potatoes are cooking. drain well. in a large bowl, put drained potatoes, and 1 stick of butter mash lightly. add onions, garlic, garlic powder and salt and pepper. using a hand mixer, blend well ( i leave some chunks ). add remaining butter and enough cream to make smooth. these reheat great and even better the next day when flavors have blended. i used them today to make a casserole, put into a buttered casserole dish and added some grated swiss and broiled about 5 minutes until cheese was browned a bit and bubbly.

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.
