Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Frozen green beans
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups French-fried onions
- 3 large Sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the mashed potatoes: Boil the cubed russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
Mash the potatoes with 4 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the green bean casserole: Cook green beans according to package instructions. Drain any excess liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup of French-fried onions. Mix well.
In a skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and stir to make a roux, then mix this into the green bean mixture. Set aside.
Prepare the sweet potato casserole: Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well then mash until smooth.
Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon, eggs, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and creamy.
Assemble the layers: Spread the mashed potatoes into a flat 1-inch layer on a sheet of parchment paper. Top with an even layer of the green bean casserole mixture, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Place spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture onto the green bean layer and carefully spread it into an even layer.
Gently roll the layers together like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help you shape the roll. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
Top the roll with the mini marshmallows, remaining French-fried onions, and Panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy, caramelized topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the Turducken of Sides is heated through.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
