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.
