Sandwich Ingredients- 5 medium potatoes, boiled
- 1 medium sweet potato, boiled
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 slices of cheese
- 1/3 cucumber
- 50g carrot ribbons (optional, adds a refreshing crunch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The secret to perfectly tender potatoes and sweet potatoes! First, wash the potatoes and sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe container with a little water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave for 7-8 minutes. This method speeds up cooking and ensures they are tender all the way through. You can check for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be easily pierced.
Step 2
Eliminate onion’s pungency! Finely mince the onion and soak it in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove its strong flavor. Then, drain thoroughly using a sieve. This step ensures a pleasant crunch and clean taste in your salad.
Step 3
Prepare perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Place 4 eggs in boiling water with a pinch of salt and boil for about 12 minutes until fully hard-boiled. Once cooked, cool them in cold water briefly before peeling.
Step 4
Add variety and texture with other ingredients. Separate the boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Finely chop the egg whites to a texture you can enjoy in a bite, and mash the yolks separately using a fork. Dice the cucumber finely, removing the seedy core, and gently squeeze out excess moisture. If you have prepared carrot ribbons, have them ready.
Step 5
Now, mash the potatoes and sweet potatoes that will form the base of your salad. Place the warm, microwaved potatoes and sweet potatoes into a bowl and mash them until smooth and lump-free using a fork or a masher. Add the finely diced cucumber to the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes for freshness. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your salad ingredients! Feel free to use other vegetables you have in your refrigerator to create your unique salad. Adjust the proportions of mayonnaise, mustard, and honey according to your personal preference.
Step 6
Combine all the ingredients to create a delicious salad. Add the mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, chopped egg whites, diced cucumber, carrot ribbons (if using), and minced onion to the bowl.
Step 7
Mix in a flavorful dressing. Combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined to create your delicious salad base.
Step 8
Assemble your hearty and tasty sandwich. Prepare your bread slices and lay 2 slices of cheese on the bottom slice. Generously spoon the prepared potato and sweet potato salad on top of the cheese. For an extra treat, especially for kids, you can add some fried sliced ham or bacon. Adding a few more carrot ribbons on top of the salad will enhance both the crunchy texture and visual appeal.
Step 9
Enjoy your finished sandwich! The combination of potato, sweet potato, and egg in the salad is both visually appealing and delicious. It’s also wonderful served chilled from the refrigerator. This salad sandwich, made with seasonal summer potatoes, is highly recommended as a weekend home-cooked meal!
