1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into quarters. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and enough water to cover them. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is combined.

5
Season the Potatoes
Sprinkle black pepper and garlic powder into the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the seasoning.
6
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, chop fresh chives and sprinkle over the whipped potatoes for added flavor and garnish.
