Mark's Mashed Potatoes

• 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

1. Fill 3 qt sauce pan half way with water.
2. Add garlic powder, Thyme, and (aprox.
3. 3 tbs) salt.
4. Bring to low boil and add potatoes cubed into 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch pieces.
5. Let boil until a fork will easily penetrate large pieces.
6. Drain off water and add salt and pepper to taste, butter (tastes better that margarine) and milk (carefully).
7. Mash potatoes (I use a waffled round hand potatoe masher instead of a mixer because I like lumpy, but that takes some elbow grease).
8. You can work with the ingredients a bit to get the right texture.
