For the Salad- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling potatoes and sweet potatoes)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 carrot
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or adjust to taste)
- A suitable amount of black olives (honey-glazed, optional)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1-2 hard-boiled eggs (optional ingredient)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the onion to make the salad’s flavor clean. Finely mince the onion. Place the minced onion in 1/4 cup of cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar (or lemon juice) and soak for about 5 minutes to remove its pungency. Then, drain it thoroughly in a sieve.
Step 2
Finely dice the carrot, similar to the onion. It adds a slight sweetness and a crisp texture. You can mince it very finely or dice it into small cubes according to your preference. You can lightly salt it to soften it before use, or for a softer texture, lightly sauté it in a pan with a little butter or oil.
Step 3
Wash the potatoes and sweet potato thoroughly. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil for about 15-20 minutes for potatoes and 10-15 minutes for sweet potatoes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. While still hot, peel them (do not rinse with cold water) and place them in a large bowl. Mash them using a fork or a potato masher.
Step 4
While still warm, add the prepared minced onion and carrot to the mashed potatoes and sweet potato. If you have hard-boiled eggs, mash them and add them for an even more satisfying and delicious salad. However, eggs are optional. You can mash the eggs directly into the salad bowl or cut them in half and place them on top of the salad.
Step 5
Now it’s time to season the salad. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and mix gently. The amount of mayonnaise can be adjusted based on the quantity of ingredients and your personal preference. For added richness, mix in 1/2 tablespoon of butter; this will make the salad creamier and more savory. Butter is optional, but it significantly enhances the flavor!
Step 6
Finally, adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper and add a suitable amount of black olives (honey-glazed) and mix. The salty yet sweet black olives blend well with the salad. If you don’t have black olives, you can omit them. If the salad lacks sweetness, you can add a little honey to adjust the taste. Check the saltiness based on the ingredients’ natural salt content.
Step 7
Slice the morning buns in half using a knife. A serrated bread knife works best to avoid crumbling. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on the inside of the bun. Sweet strawberry jam pairs well with the salad, but you can also use other jams like apple or grape, or sauces like mustard or whole grain mustard according to your preference.
Step 8
Generously fill the hollowed-out morning buns with the prepared potato sweet potato salad. The salad will fill up more than you might expect, so pack it generously, but be careful not to burst the bun. Stuffing it so the salad slightly peeks out will make it look even more appetizing.
Step 9
If desired, drizzle a little ketchup over the salad for a beautiful color and a sweet and tangy finish. Your delicious potato sweet potato salad sandwich is now complete! Enjoy the delightful combination of soft bread and hearty salad.
