Method
Preparation
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). This ensures they cook evenly.
Boil Potatoes
In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Mashing
Add Butter and Cream
Add the stick of unsalted butter (cut into pieces) and 1 cup of heavy cream to the potatoes. If using garlic, add minced garlic at this stage.
Finishing Touches
Season
Season the mashed potatoes with black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm.
