Ingredients

4 lbs yellow potatoes or russet potatoes

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves

1 cup whole milk

1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups freshly grated mozzarella cheese

Salt

2 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water until potatoes are covered by an inch or two. Bring potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 - 25 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and saute 30 - 60 seconds to remove harsh bite, set aside. Drain potatoes, return to pot and mash well or pass through a potato ricer or food mill. Add butter mixture to potatoes along with, milk, mozzarella, 3/4 cup parmesan, and 2 Tbsp parsley. Stir and thin with a little more milk if desired and season with salt to taste. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish, spread into an even layer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parmesan over the top. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, for better browning on top move closer to broiler and broil briefly during last few minutes of cooking. Garnish with 1/2 Tbsp parsley and serve warm.
