1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Add butter, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and additional salt to taste. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
