Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: in crock pot, add 2 cups of water and potatoes. cook on high for 1-2 hours or until potatoes are very soft to touch. water should be almost evaporated and potatoes will mash when gently touched. if you have a lot of water leftover, drain it off. if you have under 1/2 cup, go ahead and leave it. this will help keep your potatoes from over drying while waiting for dinner to be done- so you can make them ahead of time. add cream, butter, garlic and mash well using hand mixer or mashing utensil, right there in the crock pot. add salt and pepper to taste. keep potatoes on medium or low for up to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

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.
