1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Cook Potatoes
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

4
Drain Potatoes
Carefully drain the cooked potatoes in a colander.
5
Mash Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Using a fork, mash the potatoes until desired consistency is reached.

Add Butter, Milk, and Sour Cream
Add the unsalted butter, milk, and sour cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until creamy.
7
Season
Add black pepper, garlic powder, and chives (if using). Stir until evenly distributed.
