Creating Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites with Mashed Potatoes can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Potatoes: Begin by peeling and cubing the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 4-6 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Once the steak bites are nearly cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to combine and prevent burning.

4. Finish the Steak Bites: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the steak bites and toss until well coated. Remove from heat.

5. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until they reach your desired level of creaminess.

6. Serve Together: Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and top with the Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites. Garnish with fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation.
