Ingredients
  

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup unsalted butter, plus extra for garnish

½ cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Place the peeled and cut Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Cook the Potatoes: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

      Drain and Steam: Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot. Cover the pot for a couple of minutes to let the residual heat steam the potatoes, which helps remove excess moisture.

        Melt the Butter and Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add in the heavy cream and heat until warm, being careful not to boil it.

          Mash It Up: Using a potato masher or a ricer for an ultra-smooth texture, mash the potatoes until creamy.

            Mix in the Creamy Goodness: Pour in the warm butter and cream mixture while mixing gently. Fold in the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

              Serve with Style: Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl. For an added touch of elegance, melt a little more butter and pour over the top. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.

                Enjoy! Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
