1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess steam to escape.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash until smooth and creamy.
5
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm.
