1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks, about 1-2 inches in size. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Drain and Steam
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander. Allow them to steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, whole milk, sour cream, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash until smooth and creamy.
5
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder according to your preference.

6
Garnish and Serve
If desired, finely chop the chives and sprinkle them on top of the mashed potatoes for a fresh touch. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
