How to make Mashed Potatoes | Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt.

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot.

Add the melted butter and garlic mixture, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes.

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve warm.
