Mashed Potatoes ala Norma

5 large potatoes peeled
1 garlic clove, split
2 egg yolks
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 cup hot milk
4 slices Italian salami, diced
1/4 pound mozzarella cheese diced
2 tbsp heavy cream
2 tbsp grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Cover potatoes and garlic with boiling salted water and cook through. Preheat broiler. Drain potatoes and garlic and mash with butter and milk. Beat in egg yolks (make sure egg yolks are not cold have them on the counter to come to temp while potatoes are boiling to prevent scrambling). Mix in diced salami and mozzarella and then place in a buttered oven safe dish. Spoon cream over the top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place in the broiler 8 inches from the heat. Cook slowly until light brown crust appears.
