1
Peel and Chop Potatoes
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and chop them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Drain and Return Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Add Dairy Ingredients
Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 4 oz of cream cheese to the drained potatoes.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mash to avoid a gummy texture.

6
Season the Mash
Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
7
Garnish
If desired, sprinkle chopped chives on top for garnish before serving.
