Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into thick fries to ensure a crispy texture. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking can help remove excess starch and result in crispier fries.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some chili powder or cayenne pepper on the potato fries before baking.
- Experiment with different bread types such as whole wheat, sourdough, or rye to add variety to your sandwich.
- Add a slice of cheese or a dollop of mayonnaise for a creamy twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Mongolian-Style Crispy Potato Sandwich with a side of pickles or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast to the crispy potatoes.
