Instructions

Wash the potatoes, peeling them if desired, and cut them into 1" cubes.
Place the potatoes into a pot and cover them with cold water.
Add 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil, cooking the potatoes for 20-30 minutes until fork-tender.
Once cooked, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
Add the butter, sour cream, salt, and garlic powder to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a hand masher, adjusting texture to your preference by adding up to 1/4 cup of milk if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and top with a pat of butter and chopped parsley before serving.

For a creamier texture, add more milk as you mash the potatoes.
You can also add cheese or herbs for extra flavor options.
Ensure potatoes are fork-tender for the best mash quality.
