Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until fork-tender (about 12-15 minutes).
While the potatoes cook, finely dice the carrot, bell pepper, and green beans. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the diced vegetables along with the sweet corn for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with 3 tablespoons of butter, milk, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into a square large enough to line and overlap in your baking dish (at least 9x9 inches).
Grease the baking dish and gently lay one puff pastry square inside, letting the edges hang over.
Layer the mashed potatoes, followed by half of the sautéed vegetables. Create another layer with the remaining potatoes and top with the remaining vegetables.
Fold the overhanging edges of the puff pastry over the filling. If needed, cut small strips of pastry from the second sheet to decorate the top in a crisscross pattern.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the puff pastry for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the Potato Vegetable Quilt cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
