Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam Dry

    Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for a couple of minutes to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Cream

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the heavy cream. Pour this mixture into the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined.

  6. 6

    Season and Garnish

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
