I was craving for some hot bread sandwich for the past 2 days..now blame it on the climate or the sight of bread loaf lying around ;) I saw this potato sandwich recipe quite interesting with a burst of flavours so decided to give a try.I skipped the cheese part and replaced it with white sauce, the sandwich was a great hit at home.Even amma who says no to sandwiches asked for second serving :) Now do I need any other reason to make this sandwich again?! :) This potato sandwich has easily become one of my favorite sandwich recipes that I've tried so far and am sure I am going to try with other veggie variations with this recipe.I have a love for sandwiches both made in sandwich maker and the tawa toasted ones, both tastes good in its own ways.

Recipe Category: Breakfast | Recipe Cuisine: World
Bread - 8 slices
Potato - 1 medium sized
Big Onion - 1 medium sized
Tomato 1 medium sized
For the marinade:
Oil - 3 tbspRed Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Oregano - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
For the white sauce:
Butter - 2 tspMaida(All Purpose Flour) - 1 tbsp
Milk - 1 cup
Oregano - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Method:
- Pressure cook potato until soft(for 4 whistles), peel off the skin and slice them to 1/4 inch thickness.Then slice onions.
- Slice tomato and get ready with your veggies.Now in a mixing bowl add the ingredients listed under 'to marinade'.
- Mix well and set aside to marinate.Meanwhile prepare the white sauce.Heat butter once it starts to melt add maida and give a quick mix until it resembles sandy texture.
- Then add milk and keep cooking till it starts to thicken.Now add oregano and keep cooking until the sauce coats the back of a laddle,creamy and thick.Set aside to cool down.
- Now take your potato slices, dip it in the spice powder marinade and toast it in a dosa tawa till golden brown on both sides.Next coat onion slices with the spices mixture.
- And toast it till slightly browned.You can add raw tomato itself to your sandwich but I wiped off the remaining spice mixture and toasted it.
- Now the toasted veggies are also ready.Now spoon a generous mixture of prepared white sauce and spread it in 4 slices of bread.On one side of the bread add the toasted potato,onion and tomato slices.
- Close the sandwich with the other bread, press it slightly so that it gets sealed.Heat dosa tawa drizzle ghee and add one sandwich at a time and toast it till golden brown.Flip to other side and cook.While toasting just press the bread with a flat laddle to get the toast evenly browned as shown below.
My Notes:
- You can add any vegetable of your choice.Capsicum,cabbage are few of my suggestions.
- You can either toast and make sandwich and use sandwich maker.
- Toasting the veggies gives a great crunch to the sandwich.
- I used white bread, you can use wheat or multigrain bread too.
- Always use a flat laddle to press the sandwich while toasting , this ensures even browning.
- Make sure you cool down white sauce before you apply it.
- The white sauce thickens with time so switch it off accordingly.
- For the white sauce : I haven't added cheese, if you want add 2 tbsp of grated cheese after the milk starts thickening.
- This sandwich has to be served immediately else it will become soggy.
