Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: in a large kettle cover the potatoes with 2 inches salted cold water, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the potatoes for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender. drain the potatoes and force them through a ricer or peel them and mash them with a potato masher. stir in the butter and enough of the milk, heated, to reach the desired consistency. stir in the scallion and salt and pepper to taste.

Target recipe: peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender. drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl. add margarine, sour cream and milk. use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency. the key here is to add salt and pepper to taste. you might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt. pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly. just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it. once that is done, i usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt. then sprinkle parsley over it. this will make the best mashed potatoes i've ever found anywhere.
