1
Peeling and Cutting Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches.
2
Boiling Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

3
Draining Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to escape.
4
Mashing Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth and creamy.

5
Adding Cream and Seasoning
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mash the potatoes. Add garlic powder, black pepper, and adjust salt to taste. Mix until everything is well combined and the mashed potatoes are fluffy.
6
Garnishing
Chop the chives and sprinkle them over the mashed potatoes for garnish. Serve warm.
