What Is Potato Toast?

Potato Toast is a unique twist on the classic grilled sandwich. Instead of bread, mashed potatoes form the outer layers, making each bite soft, hearty, and indulgent. Layered with cheese and ham, it’s a comforting dish that combines the best of both worlds: potatoes and grilled cheese!

Cooking Tips

• Make sure the potato mixture is firm enough to hold together. If it’s too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs.
• You can swap the ham for turkey or even bacon for extra flavor.
• For extra crispiness, brush the toast with a little olive oil before grilling.
