Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Prosciutto, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with olive oil.
Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and milk while the potatoes are still hot, and mash until smooth.
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then mix in the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread half of the mashed potato mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
Layer the chopped prosciutto, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley evenly over the mashed potatoes.
Top with the remaining mashed potato mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and drizzle with olive oil for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is heated through.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Italian Mashed Potato Pie!
