Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes

Instructions
Wash and dry the potatoes. Then peel them using a potato peeler and cut them up into 2-inch pieces.
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and fill with cold water (about 1-2 inches above the potatoes). You don't want to put too much water.
Now turn the heat to medium-high and boil the potatoes until fork tender.
Carefully drain the water out. Then add salt (to taste), garlic powder, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Use an electric hand mixer to mix and whip everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. Note: add about 1/2 cup of the heavy cream first, and see if you need the full 3/4 cup. This often depends on the potatoes. They can sometimes be on the creamier or drier side.
