  1. Place peeled and cut potatoes and 1 Tablespoon of salt in a large pot with enough cold water to completely cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Once the potatoes reach a boil, lower the heat to low and cover. Cook for 25-35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the butter and half-n-half until butter is melted and warm, about 5 minutes.
  3. Put potatoes into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and mix them for 30 seconds to break up the potatoes.
  4. Slowly add butter and cream mixture, mixing at the lowest speed.
  5. Fold in sour cream, salt, parmesan cheese, and pepper
  6. Taste and season more if necessary.
  7. Garnish with 1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese and pat of butter.
  8. **If you need to re-warm these mashed potatoes, add a tad more butter and half-n-half.
