Potato sandwich with cheese and turkey ham—crispy outside, creamy inside. A quick, kid-friendly recipe perfect for lunch, snacks, or dinner.
Ingredients
For the potato dough
- 750g potatoes (about 3 large ones)
- 50g plain breadcrumbs (roughly 1/2 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
For the filling
- 100g sliced turkey ham (or any halal deli-style meat you prefer)
- 100g sliced cheese (look for one that melts easily, like mozzarella or mild cheddar)
For cooking
- Olive oil, for greasing and frying
- Butter or margarine, optional for extra browning
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft, then drain and let them cool completely.
- Peel the cooled potatoes and mash them with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Add the egg, salt, pepper, rosemary, and breadcrumbs to the mashed potatoes and mix until it forms a soft dough.
- Take a handful of dough and flatten it into a rough square or oval shape using your hands.
- Place a slice of turkey ham and cheese in the center, then press another piece of dough on top and gently seal the edges.
- Lightly brush each sandwich with olive oil or a bit of butter to help them crisp up while cooking.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook each sandwich for about 5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
