Tips:

For a creamier texture, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
To make the potatoes ahead of time, mash them and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
When you're ready to serve, reheat the mashed potatoes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they're warmed through.
To add a bit of extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or rosemary, to the mashed potatoes.
If you don't have any garlic powder on hand, you can use a clove of minced garlic instead.
