1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.
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 over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash until smooth and creamy.
5
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives. Serve warm.
