1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Start by peeling the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches, to ensure they cook evenly.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Drain and Steam
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
4
Mash Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5
Add Butter and Cream
While the potatoes are still warm, add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, and milk. Mix until the butter is melted and the mixture is creamy.

6
Season the Mashed Potatoes
Add 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and more salt to taste. Mix well to combine all seasonings thoroughly.
7
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, chop fresh chives and sprinkle them on top of the mashed potatoes for added flavor and color.
