On a clean, moist towel, spread the mashed potatoes
into a uniform layer. Then spread a layer of carrots
on top. Grabbing hold of one long end of the towel,
fold over the two layers slowly into a roll.
Place the roll on a greased cookie sheet and brush
with the egg. Bake at 350 F until it becomes firmer
to the touch and browns, about 30 minutes. When ready,
cut into thick slices and serve with sour cream.
