1
Peeling and Chopping
Peel the russet potatoes and chop them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-2 inches in size.
2
Boiling
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Draining
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Adding Ingredients
Add 1 stick of unsalted butter, 0.5 cups of heavy cream, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder to the drained potatoes.
5
Mashing
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
6
Finishing Touches
Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped chives for added flavor and garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
