Grease a 2-quart baking dish with melted butter, covering the bottom and sides.

Cut the crusts off the potato bread and layer the slices in a shingled pattern in the dish.

In between the layers of bread, add slices of bananas and sprinkle blueberries.

In a mixing bowl, crack 6 eggs and beat them until well mixed.

Add milk to the beaten eggs and mix until uniform.

Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

The next morning, sprinkle a mixture of 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon on top of the soaked bread.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the French toast casserole for a little over an hour until set and golden brown.
