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.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, cut the sandwich diagonally and serve it on a wooden cutting board or a rustic plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
