Ingredients:
3 large baking potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk ( Too much will make them runny)
2 tablespoons thyme
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
Directions:
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.
