1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even chunks (about 1-2 inches) to ensure they cook evenly.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and allow them to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and additional salt if desired. Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
5
Add Chives
If using, stir in the chopped chives for added flavor and garnish.

6
Serve Hot
Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy mashed potatoes!
