Preparation

Step 1

1. Stack the bread in 4 piles and remove crusts. Using rolling pin, roll out each slice to a thin 3-by-5 inch rectangle.
2. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, green beans, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Brush the edges of 4 bread slices with the egg wash. Shape 1 Tbs. of potato mixture into a log along a long edge of a rectangle leaving 1/2 inch on each end. Tightly roll up the bread into a cylinder; press the ends together to seal. Repeat with remaining bread and potato mixture.
4. In a skillet, heat the oil to 325F. Add half of the rolls and fry, turning occasionally, until well browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Repeat with remaining rolls. Serve with gravy and Sriracha.
