Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot of water 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. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth.

  4. 4

    Mix in Butter and Cream

    Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.

  5. 5

    Season

    Season the mashed potatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Fold in the chopped fresh chives for added flavor. Serve warm as a side dish.
