Not exactly an Italian recipe, but whenever we went to Aunt Phil’s house for dinner, these creamy potatoes were sure to be on the table. There is nothing like them.

1 quart water

1 1/2t. salt

6 T. butter

1 1/3 cups milk

1 quart potato flakes

2 eggs

1/2 pound shredded mozzarella

2 t. butter

Heat water with milk, salt and 6 T. butter until boiling. remove from heat and gently stir in potato flakes. Let cook for 5 minutes. Mix in one egg at a time. Add some of the cheese and beat well. Pour some of the mixture into a baking dish and layer with mozzarella. Add the rest of the potatoes and top with the 2 T butter.

Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
