PREP WORK:

  • You can boil the potatoes either on Stove Top (or) in an Instant Pot. I have given both the methods, so check accordingly.

Stove Top Method to Boil Potatoes:

  • Into a sauce pan, add 4 cups of water, drop the potatoes, place the lid on.
    Put the vessel on stove top under high flame for 20 mins.
    Switch the flame OFF, strain the hot water, run cold water over them and peel the skin off. Mash them perfectly.

Instant Pot Method to Boil Potatoes:

  • Pour 2 cups of water into the inner pot.
    Place all the washed potatoes into a steel vessel and put the vessel on the steel stand that fits in the Instant pot vessel.
    Close the IP lid & valve. Set to PRESSURE COOK mode, for 5 mins under HIGH PRESSURE.
  • Later, Release the pressure naturally (NPR), takes 10 more mins. 
    Run cold water over them, peel the skin and mash perfectly.

SANDWICH MAKING:

    To Make the Green Chutney:

    • Take 1 cup of fresh mint, 1 cup of fresh coriander, green chillies and salt into a blender/mixer. Make a smooth paste. 

    To make the Stuffing:

    • In a wide bowl, take the boiled potatoes and mash them.
      Add chopped onions, salt, red chilli powder, masala powder, ¼ cup of chopped coriander leaves.
      Mix everything thoroughly, put this stuffing aside.

    To Add the Filling:

    • Now take two bread slices, spread green chutney on one slice and potato filling on the other as shown.
      Put the grated cheese on one of the slices as shown.

    To Grill the Sandwich:

    • Using Sandwich Maker:
      Put the slice with potato filling onto the other slice with cheese spread.
      Brush the base of sandwich maker with butter, place the bread slices (one above another) and close the lid.
      Switch on the gadget & toast it until grilled to desired crunch.
    • Using Stove-top:
      Put tawa/grill pan on stove top under high flame. Smear it with butter, place the bread slices, grill for 2 mins on each side. 
      By pressing with a flat ladle and turning onto the other side for every 30 secs until you get a light brown colour.
