Baked Mashed Potatoes

You have probably cooked mashed potatoes the traditional way. But you should try the baked mashed potatoes recipe.

What's the difference between the traditional and this recipe? The difference is that for this recipe you bake the potatoes instead of boiling them. It may take a few more minutes, but it is really worth it. Here is the recipe below:

Preparation Time : 20 minutes

Cooking Time : 35 minutes

6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter
4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled, cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons bread crumbs

First, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
Then, cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Next, place the potatoes to the baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes.
Finally, bake, uncovered, until the topping is crispy and golden brown, for about 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
