#Many poskim hold that there is no prohibition of losh to add liquids into cooked foods. Therefore, one may mix margarine into mashed potatoes.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 321:19 rules based on the Rambam (responsa 109) that one may stir a dish of grits and meat and mash them so that they dissolve and form into one mass. Bach 321 questions the Rambam and says that one may only stir gently. Magen Avraham 321:28 agrees. However, the Taz 321:14 writes that since the meat and grits have been mixed with water and cooked before shabbos, there is no problem of losh in mixing it again. Chazon Ish 58:9 agrees if there is some liquid there from before Shabbos, one may then put in more on Shabbos. Biur Halacha 321:14 s.v. shema adds another reason to be lenient with stirring food that is already cooked; since it is already fit for eating, the kneading becomes part of the process preparing it for eating, ''derech achila'', and would be permitted if you stirred a little bit at a time. Mishna Brura 321:77 advises following the strict views of the Bach and Magen Avraham. Chazon Ish 58:9 allows stirring even vigorously. 39 Melachos (pg. 540) writes that you can mix margarine, butter, or oil into a baked carrots or mashed potatoes. Shemirat Shabbos Kehilchata 8:24 agrees.</ref> | #Many poskim hold that there is no prohibition of losh to add liquids into cooked foods.
