1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a minute to remove excess moisture.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the stick of butter and begin mashing with a potato masher until smooth.
5
Add Cream and Season
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mash the potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Garnish and Serve
If desired, stir in chopped chives for added flavor. Serve warm.
