Garlic-Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

Normal mashed potatoes are so boring. I usually hate them and only partake if they're smothered in creamy, fatty gravy. But these, oh these. They'll make you rethink mashed potatoes. I've wanted to make these for a long time. So, to accompany the Chicken Dijon (above), these were born. You wouldn't think garlic, Parmesan, lime, and Dijon would go together, but the flavors melded in delicious complexity.

4 medium potatoes
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 TBSP butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Cut potatoes into equal 1/2 inch cubes and place in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the potatoes. Boil until very fork-tender (about 30 minutes.) Drain. Mash up potatoes and whip in remaining ingredients with a hand mixer. Adjust texture with chicken broth or extra milk.
