  • When the potatoes are nice and soft, peel them and mush them into a large bowl.
  • To the bowl with the mushed potatoes, add beans, Parmesan cheese, eggs, marjoram and pepper. Taste for salt and mix everything thoroughly.
  • Brush a 9x12 baking sheet with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and coat it lightly with breadcrumbs
  • Fill the baking sheet with the potatoes and green beans mixture. Eaven the surface with the help of a spatula.
