1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the drained potatoes while they are still hot. This allows the butter to melt and blend easily.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the potatoes gummy.

6
Season the Mash
Add black pepper and garlic powder to taste. If using, fold in the chopped chives for a fresh, onion-like flavor.
7
Serve Warm
Transfer the whipped Yukon mash to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish.
