Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Steam

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    If desired, stir in chopped chives for garnish. Serve hot as a side dish.
