Directions

Step 1 -In a 4-quart pot, place the potato cubes and enough of the water to cover them.

Step 7 -Add the Gruyère and the mozzarella to the mashed potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture combines and forms a stringy, elastic texture.

Step 8 -Season the whipped potatoes with the salt and the pepper.

Step 9 -Serve.
