1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
5
Garnish and Serve
If desired, stir in chopped chives for added flavor. Serve warm.
