Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot or dutch oven. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.
- When potatoes pierce easily with a paring knife, remove from heat and drain. Add potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix on medium speed until mostly smooth (there may be some lumps, but we usually don't mind that). Serve.

Tips:
- For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a high starch content that breaks down easily, creating a smooth and fluffy texture.
- Peel the potatoes before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Do not overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Drain the potatoes well before mashing them. Any excess water will make the potatoes gummy.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. A regular masher can leave lumps.
- Add butter, milk, and cream cheese to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the flavors and create a rich and creamy texture.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle the mashed potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese and bake them in the oven until golden brown.
