A toasty grilled Potato sandwich (or Aloo Sandwich) with a savory spiced mashed potato stuffing is comfort food for us. All you need to make these delish carb-loaded sandwiches are some boiled potatoes, ground spices, herbs, cheese, butter and bread of your choice. Grill them, toast them or enjoy them as is.
Ingredients
8 bread slices – whole wheat bread, brown bread or white bread
2 to 3 medium potatoes – boiled and mashed
1 or 2 green chilies – chopped finely
¼ teaspoon kashmiri chilli powder or paprika (optional)
¼ teaspoon Garam Masala
1 teaspoon dry mango powder (amchur powder) or as required or swap with ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cumin powder (ground cumin)
½ to 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) or swap with mint leaves
softened butter – salted or unsalted, as required
salt as required
grated cheddar cheese as required (optional)
Boiling potatoes- Rinse the potatoes very well in water.
- Boil or steam the potatoes in a pan or pressure cooker or Instant pot until they are fork tender and can be easily mashed.
- Drain all the water from the cooked potatoes and peel them when they become warm. Mash them in a mixing bowl. You can mash them with a fork or a potato masher.
Making potato sandwich- Add all the herbs and ground spices powders – chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, red chili powder, garam masala powder, dry mango powder, cumin powder and salt as required. Mix very well.
- Check the seasoning and add more of salt, red chili powder, dry mango powder if required.
- Spread butter generously on half of the bread slices.
- Take some portion of the potato stuffing and spread it on the buttered bread slices.
- Optional step – sprinkle some grated cheese.
- Cover the bread slices with the remaining buttered slices.
- Spread some butter lightly on the top of the bread sandwiches.
- Place the sandwiches buttered side down carefully.
- Note: Be careful when doing this. If you cannot do this then just skip the above step. Instead spread butter once the sandwiches are grilled.
- Now spread butter on the top of the bread slices facing you.
- Cover the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or till the sandwiches are golden and crisp.
- Serve potato sandwich hot with tomato sauce or cilantro chutney or both.
