Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Cover and let them steam for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Whip the Potatoes

    Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, remaining salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or electric mixer to whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
