1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Dry
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to dry out.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, and the remaining salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and creamy.
5
Serve
If desired, stir in chopped chives for garnish. Serve warm as a side dish.
