And all because there are many options for its preparation, and you can easily come up with your own.
We will prepare a hearty hot sandwich with potatoes in a pan, and we will have several variations of the filling. Such a snack will allow you to satisfy your hunger for at least an hour. This is convenient when you are on the road or cannot go for lunch. So, run into the kitchen, cook hot sandwiches with grated potatoes in a pan!
Recipe number 1. Potato and egg
A fresh soft baguette or loaf is best for such a sandwich. It will need to be cut into small slices with a thickness of not more than 1.5 cm. Lubricate the pan with vegetable oil and spread 6 slices of bread so that they are slightly browned on one side. In the meantime, prepare the filling. We will need the following ingredients:
- peeled potatoes - 2 pieces;
- egg - 1 piece;
- salt, pepper - to taste;
- greens (dill, cilantro, basil) - to taste.
Grate the potatoes on a medium grater and mix in a bowl with a raw egg. Salt and pepper, add chopped greens. Mix all components thoroughly. You can spread the filling: turn the slices of the baguette upside down, spread the filling and cover the pan with a lid. We reduce the fire to almost the minimum. After 3 minutes, turn the sandwiches down with a potato mixture and fry until tender (another 7 minutes).
Turn off the stove and leave for a while hot sandwiches in a pan.
With potatoes, eggs and sprinkled with
grated cheese, they still attract an appetizing smell, but a couple of strokes remained.
Serving dishes
The dish is almost ready, but we lack the sauce. We will cook it on the basis of mayonnaise (can be replaced with unsweetened yogurt). Grind a clove of garlic, add 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise, as well as a small handful of chopped herbs. Mix thoroughly.
Put lettuce or arugula on a flat plate, decorate with cherry tomatoes. Now you can spread the dish, pouring garlic sauce on each (still hot) potato sandwich. This dish is cooked very quickly in a pan, and the result will exceed all your expectations. Give it a try!
Recipe number 2. Brutal with garlic
The following recipe will surely appeal to the male half of our readers. Although the ladies are unlikely to abandon this beautiful snack - an alternative to fed up croutons. Why snacks? Yes, because they go well with beer! What is no reason to free yourself an evening and arrange watching matches on TV? Beer bought, let's cook hot sandwiches with potatoes in a pan. The recipe is surprisingly simple and quick.
Borodino bread cut into slices of medium thickness, rub them with garlic and fry in vegetable oil. For this dish we will need boiled grated potatoes. Or you can use mashed potatoes (the filling will be softer). Mix it with cheese and mayonnaise. Cut ripe tomatoes into thin circles. Now put 2 slices of tomato and 2 tablespoons of potato-cheese mixture on each piece of bread. We cook under the lid until the cheese melts and a brown crust appears on the sandwiches. Done. Serve with cold beer, sprinkled with fresh herbs.
Recipe number 3. Potato boats
For this recipe, potatoes are also better to be boiled in advance - this will significantly reduce the time for preparing a sandwich. Of all the dishes offered today, this hot sandwich with potatoes (in a pan or in the oven) is the most festive. It is somewhat reminiscent of pizza, but made in bread and with a juicier filling.
Boat filling
It is important to buy the right bread - it should be a baguette (but not very thin) or a loaf. Soft ciabatta is also suitable. The filling will be prepared from the following components:
- boiled potatoes - 1 piece;
- cream cheese - 2 tablespoons;
- hard cheese (grated) - 2-4 tablespoons;
- bell pepper - half a small fruit;
- pitted olives (olives) - 4-6 pieces;
- salt, pepper, herbs - to taste.
First, mix the potatoes (grated or diced) in a separate bowl, bell pepper (chopped into strips), olives or olives (slices). Add two types of cheese to this mixture, if necessary, salt and pepper, mix thoroughly. If you have a jar of dried tomatoes at home, then add a few pieces to the potato mass (this is incredibly tasty!). The filling is ready.
Sailing boats
Cut off the edges of the loaf (large enough for your sandwich) and cut them lengthwise into two parts. Using a knife, we pull out part of the pulp from them. You can grease the breadbreads with any sauce (for example, tomato), then put the filling in each boat. Sprinkle with herbs and cheese. It remains to send the boats to fry. This hot sandwich with potatoes in a pan (under the lid) is prepared very quickly, since all its ingredients do not require additional heat treatment.
As you can see, sandwiches with potatoes are very simple, but also satisfying, tasty and unusual. Have you already chosen which of these dishes will you cook today?
