1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Cook Until Tender
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

4
Drain and Steam
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
5
Add Butter and Cream
Return the steamed potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream.
6
Mash and Whip
Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mix.
7
Season to Taste
Season with additional salt, black pepper, and optional ingredients like minced garlic or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
8
Garnish
Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if using.
