Green bean loaf

3 potatoes

2⅔ cups trimmed green beans

1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing

4–5 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs

1 bread roll

4 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon marjoram

2–3 eggs, lightly beaten

⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper

Put the unpeeled potatoes into a pan, pour in water to cover, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender. Drain, peel, and mash in a bowl, then stir until completely smooth.

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Drain and let cool, then cut into small pieces.

Preheat the oven to 350°f.

Brush a loaf pan with oil and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Meanwhile, pull off the crust from the bread roll, put the remaining roll into a bowl, add the milk, and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out any excess moisture. Add the soaked roll, green beans, marjoram, eggs, Parmesan, and olive oil to the potato, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes, then turn out onto a warm serving plate. Serve immediately.
