Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180 C), lightly butter a small 8 x 6 inch (20 x 15 cm) baking dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of bead crumbs.
- Chop the onion and fry in 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil until lightly golden, remove and place in a large bowl.
- In a medium pot add peeled potatoes (whole), cover with water and boil until tender, remove from water with a slotted spoon. Either mash or pass through a potato ricer (which is what I did) into the bowl containing the cooked onion.
- Clean and trim the green beans, cut into 1/4 inch (.6cm) size pieces and set aside. Once the potatoes are cooked and removed from the water add the chopped green beans and cook just until tender (they should still have a bite to them). Then drain well and place in the large bowl with the potato and onion.
- In a small bowl add the eggs and beat with a fork, then add the parmesan cheese, oregano, salt and pepper, and combine, add to the potato mixture and gently combine all the ingredients.
- Spoon into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs, dot with 1 tablespoon of butter and bake for approximately 20 -25 minutes, the last couple of minutes raise the heat to 400F (200C) and let brown lightly. Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Yukon gold potatoes are considered the best potatoes for mashing.
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3-5 days in the fridge.
- You can also make the green bean casserole ahead of time. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day ahead. Remove it from the fridge and bake.
- To freeze the casserole, be sure it has cooled to room temperature. Wrap it well with plastic wrap and foil, place it in the freezer. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
