1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters for even cooking.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

3
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Add Ingredients
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese to the drained potatoes.
5
Mash Potatoes
Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash to your desired consistency.

6
Season the Mash
Add the remaining salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped chives. Mix until well combined.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
