1
Peel and Chop
Begin by peeling the Russet potatoes and cutting them into evenly-sized chunks, roughly 1-2 inches in size.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.

4
Add Mix-ins
While the potatoes are still warm, add the unsalted butter, whole milk, cream cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes and mix in the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6
Garnish and Serve
Fold in the chopped chives for added flavor and color. Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional chives if desired.
