1
Prepare Mashed Potatoes
Cook the potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
2
Toast the Bread
In a skillet or toaster, toast the Texas toast slices until golden brown on both sides.
3
Heat the Meat
If using refrigerated roast beef or turkey, warm it in the microwave or in a skillet until heated through.
4
Prepare Gravy
If using store-bought gravy, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. If making from scratch, follow your favorite recipe.

5
Layer the Ingredients
On each slice of Texas toast, place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.
6
Add Meat
Place the warmed roast beef or turkey on top of the mashed potatoes.
7
Pour Gravy
Smother the entire open-faced sandwich with hot gravy.
8
Garnish
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and sliced green onions if desired.
