Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup White cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1.5 inches in size.

Step 2

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, combine the butter, heavy cream, and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat the mixture until warmed through, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit uncovered for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, a ricer, or a hand mixer, depending on your preferred texture.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the warmed butter, cream, and milk mixture while mashing the potatoes. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Fold in the shredded white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and top with chopped chives for garnish, if using. Serve hot.
