Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the Potato Base
- 1 large potato, thinly sliced (use a mandolin for even slices)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground paprika (optional)
- 60 grams cheese, shredded
Ingredients for the Filling
- 2-3 slices chicken ham
- Lettuce, spinach, or arugula
- Sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers
- Your favourite sauce or spread (mayo, mustard, pesto)
Methods
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Prepare the Potato Base
Arrange the potato slices on the lined baking tray, overlapping them slightly to form a base. Drizzle the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and ground paprika (if using). Distribute 60 grams of grated cheese evenly over the potatoes.
3. Bake the Potato Base
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes (depending on the thickness of the potatoes), or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Using a large spatula, carefully turn the potato base over. Bake for another 5-10 minutes to allow the other side to crisp up.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Remove the baked potato base from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Place your desired filling ingredients (salad, cheese, meat, vegetables, etc.) on one half of the potato base. Fold with the other half to create a sandwich.
5. Serve
Serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a fresh salad or a dipping sauce such as sour cream or garlic aioli.
Tips for Perfect Potato Sandwich
Here are some tips to make your Potato Sandwich even more delicious:
Use Starchy Potatoes: Opt for varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture; they become nice and crispy.
Even Slices: Use a mandoline slicer to ensure the potato slices are even so they cook evenly.
Non-stick Preparation: Line the baking tray with baking parchment or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Flip Hack: Place another piece of baking parchment and a tray on top before flipping the entire base to keep it intact.
Variations
Here are some delicious variations you can try to put your own spin on Potato Sandwich:
Breakfast Style: Fill with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sautéed spinach, and shredded cheese, then top with hollandaise or a dollop of sour cream.
Vegetarian Delight: Fill with grilled zucchini, roasted red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and Feta cheese. Drizzle with pesto or tahini.
Spicy Mexican Inspired: Pair with shredded chicken or beans, avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, and melted cheddar. Top with salsa or spicy chipotle mayonnaise.
