Place the potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender (about 45 minutes).
Meanwhile, butter the bottom and sides of a 12-inch spring form pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter and dust the bottom and sides with 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk and ricotta cheese and mix; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Drain and peel the potatoes and pass them through a food mill or ricer into a very large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, use a large rubber spatula to fold in the Parmigiano-Reggiano, then add the salami and parsley and stir just enough to evenly mix. Gently stir in the egg mixture; do not over-stir, just bring it all together.
Place half of the potato mixture in the prepared pan and gently smooth it to the edges. Sprinkle the grated Asiago over the potato mixture to within 1/4 inch of the outer edge, but not over. Top with the remaining potato mixture and carefully smooth it over with a wet spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup of bread crumbs and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes.
Unmold onto a serving plate and cut into wedges like a cheesecake to serve.
Tips
- Make in an 8" spring form pan for a deeper cheese cake.
