Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until the butter is melted and the mixture is creamy. Let cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley.
Spread half of the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the layer.
Spread the rest of the potato mixture over the cheese layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top of the pie. Optionally, add a small drizzle of melted butter over the breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
