1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Mash
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the butter, whole milk, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined and creamy.
5
Finish with Chives
Fold in the chopped chives for added flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste.
