Hash Brown Melt by Siri on Mar 20, 2011

We love Sandwiches and why not? A Sandwich could be an entire meal, ready to go anywhere - from lazy afternoon to picnics to poolside. From a quick weekend lunch to a daily routines, sandwiches are the easiest to make & take - the most portable meal there is..:)

The first sandwich was actually created by accident in 1762 - John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich was involved in a heated card game in which the stakes were high. So, he asked a servant to put some meat in between 2 slices of bread, so Montagu could eat his meal without getting his hands and cards dirty!.. thats one interesting anecdote for our Sandwich.. Isn't it!

I made these yummy Hash Brown Melt sandwiches yesterday and the very mention of these is mouth watery. This is the best entree for a casual meal - every bite to relish and a memory to cherish..:)

  • Cook time:
  • Prep time:
  • Serves: 2 people
Ingredients
  • 4 slices of white Sandwich bread
  • 2 medium Potatoes, boiled and shredded
  • 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp of Butter (or) Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tomato, sliced into circles
  • 2 slices of American Cheese (I used Fat Free singles!)
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or) Red Chilli powder (can be adjusted to taste)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp of Mayonnaise (any flavored spread like Parmesan-Garlic spread can be used)
Method
1.

In a wok, heat butter, add garlic and onions. Saute until soft. Then add shredded potato, salt & pepper with cayenne pepper. Mix the contents gently and cook for 4-5 minutes. Keep aside.

2.

Preheat the oven to 350 deg. In a baking sheet, place 2 pieces of bread smeared with mayo on each. Top these with the hash brown filling. then with slices of tomato and finally with a slice of american cheese.

3.

Place cheese side up on the sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes (or) just until the cheese is melted.

4.

Serve open toped as I did (or) top with the remaining pieces of bread.

Variation: You can add any kind of veggies like bell peppers to the hash brown filling and then top with cheese.
