1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3
Drain and Mash
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add the butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Stir well until everything is combined and creamy.
5
Garnish and Serve
If desired, stir in chopped chives for added flavor. Serve warm.
