Ingredientspotato-pie-ingredients

2-pound potatoes
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella balls
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 tomatoes
1 oz butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
pepper & salt to taste

Directions

1. Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water for 25 minutes, until completely tender and mash them. 2. I’ve added 1 oz of butter and 1/4 cup warm milk and kept mashing. The mashed potatoes will stay thick and firm, but that’s okay. 3. Season with pepper and salt to taste. I always add a pinch of nutmeg to my mashed potatoes; it’s a Dutch thing.
