Ingredients:
| 1 tablespoon | butter |
| 4 pounds | russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces |
| 1 cup | whole milk |
| 1/2 cup | (1 stick) butter, melted |
| 1 1/2 cups | grated mozzarella cheese |
| 1 cup | freshly grated Parmesan cheese |
| salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 2 tablespoons | plain dry bread crumbs |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. Recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill.
Bake, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
