Mashed Potatoes

  • 6-8 Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1/4 c butter
  • 1/4 c heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1/4 t garlic powder
  • 1/4 t onion powder

Place potatoes in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring water to a boil. Allow to boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until a fork can easily pierce each potato (about 20-30 minutes). Move potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Remove potato skin, if desired.

While potatoes are hot, add the butter and mash until there are no large lumps. Avoid over-mashing, as it will create a gluey texture. Add all other ingredients and stir until creamy and well-combined. Add more salt, to taste, if needed.
