Ingredients (Makes 2 Sandwiches)

2 medium potatoes (boiled & mashed or thinly sliced)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon garam masala (optional, for extra flavor)
½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
½ teaspoon chaat masala (optional, for a tangy kick)
½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove)
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)

For the Sandwich:

4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
2 tablespoons butter (for toasting)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or green chutney (for spreading)
2 slices of cheese (optional, for a cheesy version)
1 small onion (thinly sliced, optional for extra crunch)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Filling

Boil and mash the potatoes or thinly slice them if you prefer a chunkier texture.
In a bowl, mix the potatoes with salt, pepper, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili flakes, chaat masala, garlic powder, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro.
Stir well to combine, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
On the unbuttered side, spread mayonnaise or green chutney for extra flavor.
Evenly spread the potato mixture onto two slices of bread.
Add cheese slices and onion slices if using.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.

Step 3: Toast or Grill the Sandwich

Option 1: Pan-Fried (Crispiest Version)

Heat a pan or skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and crispy.

Option 2: Grilled (Smoky Flavor)

Preheat a grill or sandwich press.
Grill the sandwich for 3-5 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Option 3: Air Fryer (Healthier & Still Crispy!)

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve warm.
Pair with mint chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip for an extra flavor boost!
