Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Chop Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Return to Pot

    Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a minute to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Milk

    Add the unsalted butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash using a potato masher until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Season to Taste

    Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, and if desired, sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve warm.
