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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Spread half of the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the layer.

Step 8

Spread the rest of the potato mixture over the cheese layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top of the pie. Optionally, add a small drizzle of melted butter over the breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
