1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Rinse under cold water.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Dry
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the potatoes to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
5
Season
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Mix well to combine.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
