Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes. Put in a 2 quart glass bowl with 1/3 cup of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave 12-14 minutes on high. Stir after 6 minutes. When done whip potatoes, add cream, cheese, butter, salt, garlic salt and chives. Put in microwave 3-4 minutes on high, then 8 minutes at medium.
