How to make Open Potato Sandwich
Start by boiling, peeling, and mashing the potatoes. Chop the bell peppers, bullet chilli, and mint leaves, and grate the carrot. Set them aside.
Combine the mashed potatoes, bell peppers, bullet chilli, and mint leaves in a mixing bowl.
Add salt, white pepper, degi mirch powder, coriander powder, pomegranate powder, and all-purpose flour. Mix everything.
Take a bread slice and use a spoon to spread a small amount of the potato mixture on it.
Sprinkle some semolina and black poppy seeds on top. Set aside.
Repeat the same process with the remaining bread slices.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and brush it with oil.
Place the bread slices on the pan with the potato mixture facing down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the topping turns light golden brown. (When cooking the sandwiches, gently press down on them with a flat spatula).
Use a flat spatula to carefully flip the bread slices and cook for a few more minutes until they become golden brown and crispy below.
Transfer the bread sandwich to a plate and cut them into halves.
Serve the open potato sandwiches hot with your choice of sauce.

FAQS
How do I make open potato sandwiches crispy?
To achieve a crispy texture for your open potato sandwiches, ensure you use semolina (suji) on top of the potato mixture before cooking. Additionally, cooking them in a heavy-bottomed pan with enough oil and pressing down gently with a spatula will help create that golden, crispy exterior.
What are some dietary substitutions for the open potato sandwich recipe?
If you're looking for dietary substitutions, you can use gluten-free bread instead of regular bread for a gluten-free option. For a vegan version, replace the all-purpose flour with chickpea flour and ensure the bread is dairy-free. You can also substitute the potatoes with mashed sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
How should I store leftover open potato sandwiches?
To store leftover open potato sandwiches, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again.
What sauces pair well with open potato sandwiches?
Open potato sandwiches pair wonderfully with a variety of sauces. You can serve them with mint chutney for a refreshing taste, or try a tangy tamarind sauce. For a creamier option, a yogurt-based sauce or even ketchup can complement the flavors nicely.
Can I make open potato sandwiches ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the potato mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. When you're ready to serve, simply spread the mixture on the bread and cook as directed. This makes it a convenient option for quick breakfasts or snacks!
