Leaving skins on the potatoes, wash them well. Large potatoes can be cut into quarters; smaller in halves. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Place potatoes in the water and cook until fork tender. Strain water and leave potatoes in hot pot to dry.
Add the butter and sour cream.
Using a masher, blend all ingredients. Add parsley, salt, pepper; blend with masher. According to taste, mash to consistency desired. For creamiest potatoes, use a wand blender inserted in the pot. Add more butter, sour cream, or spices to taste.
