1
Peel and Cut the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches) to ensure even cooking.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the chopped potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a minute to remove excess moisture.
4
Add Butter and Milk
In the pot, add the drained potatoes back in, then add 1 cup of butter and 0.5 cup of milk.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. For a fluffier texture, you may also use a hand mixer.
6
Season the Potatoes
Add 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
7
Garnish and Serve
If desired, finely chop 2 tablespoons of chives and sprinkle on top of the whipped potatoes for garnish. Serve warm.
