In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes by 1 inch with well-salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with 1 Tbs. of the butter, then cover evenly with 1/4 cup of the panko.
Position a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 400°F.
Drain the potatoes well, and return them to the pot to steam, about 2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. of the butter, the cream, eggs, Parmigiano, 1-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper, and mash thoroughly.
Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly in the prepared pan. Cover with 1 cup of the fontina, followed by the chard mixture and the remaining fontina. Top with the remaining potatoes, and smooth the top with a silicone spatula.
Sprinkle the surface with the remaining 1/4 cup panko, and dot with the remaining 1 Tbs. butter. Bake until the top is golden-brown and the center is very hot, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before running a paring knife around the edge to release the pan. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad, if you like.
This recipe has been hanging on my fridge since it first came out in the magazine and finally got around to making it this week. This is so good. I will be making it again SOON!

Made this tonight as a test for possible Thanksgiving side dish and it was a big hit! I used some smoked gouda I had with the fontina and it really gave it a nice light smoky flavor too. I would add a little rosemary next time. It lends itself to lots of variations- roasted peppers, mushrooms, ... I did not find it too salty.

I've tried every version of this PIE and can't rave about it more. I didn't find it salty - but then I don't salt the pototoes until they are mashed. Thumbs up on comforting food no matter what time of year you make it!!
This quick take on eggs Benedict eschews Hollandaise sauce and ham in favor of tangy beurre blanc and fresh asparagus. It takes slightly more than 10 minutes, but it looks…
