1
Prepare the Potatoes
Start by peeling the Russet potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches in size.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
3
Drain and Dry
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
4
Mash the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or a fork to start mashing them until smooth.
5
Add Ingredients
Add the butter, milk, sour cream, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and remaining salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and smooth.
6
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or smoked paprika if desired.
7
Garnish and Serve
If using, chop the chives and sprinkle them over the top of the mashed potatoes. Serve warm as a side dish.
