Place cubed potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold water; bring to a boil; add 1 T. salt; stir to dissolve the salt. Boil for 10-15 minutes, just until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook.
Drain potatoes; do not rinse; return to the pot. Add the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or potato masher to mash the potatoes and incorporate the butter into the potatoes.
Add the heavy cream and 1 1/4 c. Cheddar cheese; mix until incorporated. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve, topped with the remaining 1/4 c. Cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.
