Step 1

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water to cover potatoes by about an inch. Heat over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft when you insert a fork.

Step 2

Drain potatoes and place back in the pot. Use a potato masher (or a fork) to mash the potatoes.

Step 3

Add in the butter and cream cheese and use an electric hand mixer to mix until melted and incorporated into the potatoes.

Step 4

Slowly add in the cream and continue to whisk with the electric mixer. Add salt and pepper.

Step 5

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley, extra butter and serve warm.
