Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Drain the Potatoes

   Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to escape.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, milk, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
