To a large stockpot, add the potatoes, cover with 1-inch water above them, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender and done; don't overcook.
Drain potatoes well and then return them back to the stockpot.
Using a potato masher, mash them by hand until they’re mostly smooth with a few lumps.
Add all remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Taste and if desired, add additional salt and pepper.
Optionally garnish with chives or green onions and serve. Potatoes will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat gently and you will likely need to add additional cream or milk when reheating if the potatoes have thickened up. *See Notes for Make Ahead and Casserole Style Directions.
