Step 1
Bring water to boil and add a few dashes of salt (optional). Peel and dice the potatoes until tender over medium heat until well cooked (test with a fork) - takes between 25-30 minutes. Drain and return to pan.
Step 2
Mince garlic (I used pre-minced) and measure out spices
Step 3
Measure out butter, sour cream, cream cheese and parmesan. I had a buy one get one free coupon for the Philadelphia Cooking cream cheese so I used that in this recipe.
Step 4
I didn't have a heavy industrial mixer, so I started out using a blending mixer, adding a little of the milk at a time, but ended up going old school on it and used a potato masher until smooth.
Step 5
Spray a baking dish with non-stick coating and preheat oven to 375 degrees
Step 6
Transfer the potatoes over to the baking dish
Step 7
For the topping, in a separate bowl put the bread crumbs and butter and melt the butter (I put it in the over for a few minutes) and mix together until crumbly.
Step 8
I used to fork to sprinkle the topping on the potatoes.
Step 9
Sprinkle the mozzarella or Italian cheese blend over the top.
Step 10
Put in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
