Peel potatoes or scrub if you are leaving the skin on. Cut potatoes into chunks. Add potatoes to a large pot. Fill with cold water and add 1-3 tablespoons of salt (to taste), bring to a boil and cook potatoes until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the heavy cream and butter to a small saucepan and heat until warmed through and butter is melted. Do not boil.
Drain the potatoes. Add in the cream and butter, 1 tbsp salt, pepper, garlic powder and sour cream. With a potato masher, mash the potatoes until creamy. If you like them very smooth, finish with a hand mixer until fluffy.
Add more cream as needed, a little at a time, if the potatoes are too thick. You can always add more but you can't take it out, so add in small amounts until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust sour cream, butter and seasoning to taste. Serve warm.
