1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Drain and Mash Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly. Return the potatoes to the pot and start mashing them with a potato masher until they're slightly chunky.
4
Add Butter and Cream
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined, adjusting the cream for desired creaminess.

5
Season the Potatoes
Stir in the black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh chives. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
6
Serve
Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional chives if desired. Serve warm.
