Boil the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the vegetables thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the pot.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy to your desired consistency.
Taste the mash and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using.
Serve warm as a keto-friendly side dish.
