1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters for even cooking.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Steam Dry
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Allow them to steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
5
Add Butter and Cream
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add heavy cream and minced garlic, heating until warm. Combine with the mashed potatoes.
6
Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in chopped chives before serving.
