Nostalgic Potato Egg Sandwich with Morning Rolls
Use Up Your Fridge Ingredients! Easy and Delicious Potato Egg Sandwich
Do you ever have leftover boiled potatoes and eggs that you don’t know what to do with? Instead of letting them go to waste, turn them into a delightful sandwich! This potato and egg salad filling, reminiscent of classic deli sandwiches, is perfect for a quick snack or a light meal. The combination of soft morning rolls and creamy filling is simply irresistible. A touch of honey adds a subtle sweetness and smoother texture, making it even more enjoyable.
Main Ingredients- 1 boiled potato
- 2 boiled eggs
- 2/3 cup canned corn
- 4 morning rolls
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ingredients for the sandwich filling: 1 boiled potato, 2 boiled eggs, and 2/3 cup of canned corn. If using canned corn, drain it well by placing it in a sieve.
Step 2
Peel the boiled potato and mash it thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until smooth, ensuring there are no large lumps. Mashing while the potato is still warm makes it easier.
Step 3
Separate the boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Finely mince both the egg whites and yolks with a knife. (Tip: For perfectly hard-boiled eggs that are easy to peel, boil them for 12 minutes with 1 Tbsp of vinegar and 1/2 Tbsp of salt.)
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the mashed potato, finely minced egg whites, egg yolks, and the drained canned corn.
Step 5
Add the dressing ingredients: 2 Tbsp honey mustard sauce, 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 Tbsp honey. Mix everything together well until thoroughly combined. The honey adds a subtle sweetness and a smoother mouthfeel, making the sandwich even more delightful.
Step 6
Carefully slice into the top of each morning roll, cutting deep but not all the way through, so the top remains attached. This creates space to fill with the salad.
Step 7
Generously fill the hollowed-out morning rolls with the prepared potato and egg salad. Make sure to pack it in well so it doesn’t spill out.
Step 8
And there you have it – a moist and delicious potato egg sandwich! While adding more mayonnaise can enhance the flavor further, this recipe offers a lighter, more wholesome taste that’s still incredibly satisfying and lower in calories. It’s a perfect treat for kids or a delightful light brunch option.
