1/2 tsp. salt

- Drain potatoes. Place in a mixing bowl with butter. Mash with a potato masher or fork. Add cream cheese mixture and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

- Spoon mixture into buttered dish. Smooth top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. (If making ahead, cover and refrigerate at this point.
