Baked Mashed Potatoes With Parmesan Cheese and Breadcrumbs image

I saw this on Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis. So, I tried it out, and oh my goodness! The potatoes were so good, even before baking them, that my boyfriend and I were licking the spoon like it was cake batter. The cheeses really are what make this a winner.
