Ingredients
Main
- 4–6 slices sandwich bread (thick slices work best)
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
For frying
- Butter or oil
Step 1 – Cook the Potatoes
Peel and cut potatoes into chunks.
Boil in salted water for 12–15 minutes until soft.
Drain well.
Mash while still hot until smooth.
No big lumps.
Smooth mash gives better texture inside the bread.
Let it cool slightly.
Step 2 – Prepare the Filling
In a bowl add:
- Mashed potatoes
- Cheese
- Parsley/green onions
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
Mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
This filling should already taste delicious on its own.
Step 3 – Prepare the Egg Dip
In another bowl:
Whisk:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Pinch of salt
- Pepper
This helps create that golden crispy crust outside.
It’s like savory French toast coating.
Step 4 – Stuff the Bread
Now the fun part.
Take one slice of bread.
Spread a thick layer of potato filling on top.
Cover with another slice to make a sandwich.
Press gently.
Repeat for all slices.
Tip:
Don’t overfill or it will leak while frying.
Step 5 – Dip and Fry
Heat a pan on medium heat.
Add butter or oil.
Dip each sandwich into egg mixture.
Coat both sides but don’t soak too long.
Place directly into hot pan.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until:
- Golden brown
- Crispy crust
- Cheese melted
- Inside warm
Flip carefully with a spatula.
Step 6 – Serve Hot
Remove and let rest 1–2 minutes.
Slice in halves or triangles.
Serve immediately.
The outside will be crispy… inside soft and creamy.
Pure comfort.
