Ingredients

• 1000 grams Potatoes
• 50 grams Butter
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 80 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 60 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 125 grams Mozzarella cheese, cubed
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, rinse them under cold water, and cut them into evenly sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round baking dish with olive oil or butter. Dust the dish with breadcrumbs to create a light coating; this will prevent sticking and add a nice crust.

Step 4

Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Add the butter, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, if using, and mix until creamy.

Step 5

Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then add them to the mashed potato mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and cubed mozzarella. Mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs evenly over the surface of the potato mixture. For an extra golden crust, dot with small pieces of butter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the sformato is golden and slightly puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
