Steps:
- Add the cubed potatoes to a large pot; fill with enough water to cover the potatoes and add ½ tablespoon of salt.
- Set the potatoes over high heat and bring the water to a boil; lower heat to a steady simmer and cover the pot.
- Cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and tender.
- Remove from heat and drain in a colander.
- Put the potatoes back into the pot and add 4 ounces cream cheese, sour cream, and butter; using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until creamy.
- If you want creamier mashed potatoes, add remaining cream cheese.
- Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper; taste and adjust accordingly.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with parsley and a pat of butter.
- Serve.
