**Cook the Potatoes**: Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Drain well.
**Prepare the Mashed Mixture**: Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or mixer until smooth. Add melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan, milk, egg, salt, and pepper, mixing until fully combined. Adjust the milk if needed for a creamy, but still slightly thick consistency.
**Assemble the Cups**: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin. Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly into each cup of the muffin tin, filling about ¾ full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
**Bake**: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
**Serve**: Let the cups cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the tin. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
