1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Add butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5
Garnish and Serve
If desired, stir in chopped chives for added flavor. Serve warm.
