Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ¾ cup freshly grated mozzarella
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the topping:
  • 2 tablespoons Italian-style bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • To Garnish:
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C.) Coat a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. We used a 10.5 X 7.5 baking dish. If you are using a 9 X 13 baking dish, double the recipe.
  2. Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain; transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella and ½ cup of Parmesan. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to combine. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. This recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill.
  3. Bake, uncovered until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  4. Enjoy, buen provecho!
  5. Crispy Smashed Potatoes
  6. Garlic Roasted Potatoes
  7. Amazing Sweet Potato Casserole
  8. Creamy Potato Salad with Eggs
