Steps (10 steps, 50 minutes)

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.

2
Mince garlic (I used pre-minced) and measure out spices
-
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.

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.

Spray a baking dish with non-stick coating and preheat oven to 375 degrees

Transfer the potatoes over to the baking dish

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.

I used to fork to sprinkle the topping on the potatoes.

Sprinkle the mozzarella or Italian cheese blend over the top.
