Baked mashed potatoes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. But if you spend a little more time and make the mashed potatoes in the oven, the dish will look completely different and have a more unusual flavor, since we'll add garlic and cheese. The finished dish can now be served.

Step 1
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut each potato into 3-4 pieces. Peel the garlic. Grate the hard cheese on a medium grater. Mix the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese and combine well. Pour this mixture into a separate bowl. Mash the mozzarella with a fork. All components are now ready.

2. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, salt it, and cook the potatoes and garlic cloves until tender. Add hot milk and butter, then mash with a blender or potato masher until smooth. Mix in the mashed mozzarella and the remaining hard cheese. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3
3. It remains to bake the mash. Grease a baking dish with butter and spread the potato mash with the additions into it. We already have a topping ready made of breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Sprinkle it over the entire surface of the mash and place the dish into a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Bake uncovered for about half an hour. A golden-brown crust should form on the mash. This dish can be served with fish, meat, or chicken. But believe me, it will also be very tasty with a fresh vegetable salad.
