Yukon Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.

Boil the Potatoes

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain and Steam

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

Mash the Potatoes

Return the potatoes to the pot and add the butter. Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth.

Add Milk and Seasonings

Gradually mix in the milk, and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and additional salt to taste. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Garnish (Optional)

If desired, stir in fresh chives for added flavor and garnish before serving.
