Potato sandwiches are a versatile and delicious option for a meal or snack. Here’s a simple recipe for a classic potato sandwich:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 8 slices of bread (white, wheat, or your choice)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
- Butter or oil for toasting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potato Filling:
- In a pan, heat some oil or butter over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
- Add the grated ginger and green chilies, sautéing for a minute.
- Add turmeric powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Mix well.
- Add the mashed potatoes and combine everything thoroughly. Cook for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
- Stir in chopped fresh coriander leaves and remove the mixture from heat.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Take a slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the prepared potato mixture evenly on it.
- Place another slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
- Toast the Sandwiches:
- Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwiches onto the pan.
- Toast the sandwiches until both sides turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even toasting.
- If you have a sandwich maker or toaster, you can use that instead for a quicker and evenly toasted result.
- Serve:
- Once the sandwiches are toasted and crispy, remove them from the pan.
- Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters.
- Serve the delicious potato sandwiches hot with ketchup, chutney, or any sauce of your choice.
