1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
3
Drain and Mash
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
4
Serve
If using, stir in the chives just before serving. Serve warm.
