This pan toasted potato sandwich is unique because rather than using traditional sandwich bread, it uses a bread that is made with potatoes. The result is a heartwarming sandwich with oozing cheese and bologna in the middle, and an incredibly fluffy bread that can be served for lunch or dinner.
To make this pan toasted potato sandwich recipe, you begin by mashing cooked potatoes with salt, pepper, parsley, egg, flour, and baking soda. Then, that mixture gets shaped into four slices of bread which are sandwiched into two sandwiches filled with bologna and cheese. Then, they get cooked in a pan until they are golden on both sides before serving.
What is a Pan Toasted Potato Sandwich?
A pan toasted potato sandwich is a sandwich in which the bread slices are pan-fried potato dough. The raw potato dough gets assembled into bread slices, filled with bologna and cheese, and cooked in a pan until golden and toasted on both sides.
Pro Tips
- Use potatoes that are best for mashing such as russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Make sure the mashed potatoes have completely cooled before adding the egg, flour, and baking soda.
- Be careful not to burn the potato bread when you are frying it. Feel free to adjust the heat as needed to ensure that the potato bread doesn’t burn.
- Feel free to add other fillings to the pan toasted potato sandwich such as spinach, ham, pesto, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is My Potato Dough Wet?
If you find that your potato dough is quite wet, it could be that the potatoes absorbed too much water during the cooking process. In this case, feel free to add more flour to the dough so that it is easier to handle.
What Type of Cheese Should Be Used in a Potato Sandwich?
You could use any type of cheese you enjoy the most but one with a sharp flavor like a white cheddar or gruyere is particularly good.
Can I Add Other Fillings to the Potato Sandwich?
Yes, you can! For more freshness, consider adding some spinach, pesto, or sun-dried tomatoes to the filling. Meanwhile, if you don’t love bologna, you could use ham, turkey, chicken, roast beef, or salami instead.
How to Store the Pan Toasted Potato Sandwich
If you have potato sandwiches leftover, you can store them in a sealed container in the fridge until you plan to serve them again. They should keep for up to 3 to 4 days, and then you can reheat them in the oven or air fryer.
