Instructions
- Place the potatoes and salt into a large pot and overfill with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a moderate boil. Cover pot leaving lid slightly ajar.
- Once potatoes are fork tender (about 20-25 minutes) drain in a colander.
- While the potatoes are draining heat butter and milk over low heat. Preheat oven to 375°F and set the rack to the middle level.
- Rice the still-warm potatoes into the dry pot that was used for boiling. After all potatoes have been riced pour in the milk mixture, 3/4 cup each of both cheeses, and the parsley and gently stir to incorporate.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Once the potatoes taste great, mix in the two eggs and pour the contents into a buttered 9x13 baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden. Enjoy!

Notes
- Floury/starchy potatoes (Russet, Idaho) work great for this dish but Yukon Gold are also a good choice.
- Rice the potatoes into the still-hot pot that was used for boiling. The residual heat of the pot will further dry out the potatoes.
- A few cloves of minced garlic added to the butter and milk makes a great addition.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or mirwave.
