Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Fold in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and most of the chopped parsley (reserve a little for garnish).
In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix it into the potato mixture to help bind the filling.
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese and all the Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the reserved parsley before serving.
