3 Lbs. Russet potatoes Or 6 medium size Russet Potatoes. Peeled, wash and boiled
8 Cups Water or Broth of choice You may use vegetable, beef, or chicken broth
½ Stick butter Or 4 tablespoons
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
½ Cup Heavy Cream You can also use milk or half and half

Peel and cut the potatoes into 3-4 pieces. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, then wash the potatoes before transfering them to the pot.
After you've transfered the potatoes to the pot, add enough water to cover the top of the potatoes. We added about 17 cups of water.
Set the temperature on the stove to medium heat to start cooking the potatoes. Cover with lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked fork through and tender.
Remove the potatoes from the stove and drain the water. Set the potatoes aside.
In a large Sauté pan, add melt the butter over low heat. Next add the potatoes.
Then season with salt and pepper to taste, and garlic powder. Mix well. Then slowly add the milk. Stir to well combine until the mashed potatoes are creamy and all lumps are gone (if desired).
