Is this a sandwich, a wrap or an art piece? That’s the first reaction I get when I assemble this sandwich. People just stare at it instead of trying to gobble it. You be the judge and let me know if you would like to have a bite or just stare.
The filling is, again, something attached to my childhood. I grew up often eating this sandwich. Well, a sandwich made of the potato filling but it didn’t quite look like the one in the pictures. My mom always adds sliced, hard boiled eggs to the filling but I omitted it in the recipe to keep it vegetarian. It’s delicious with or without eggs.
Oh yes, you don’t have to turn the sandwich to an art piece if you don’t want to. It will still taste awesome.

Notes
I like this sandwich in un-toasted whole grain bread. It tastes great on toasted bread too.
The filling will be great with other breads, such as naan, tortilla, etc.
You may add boiled and sliced eggs to the filling.

A potato sandwich – unusual! But it looks arty indeed. I think I’d order it if it was an egg salad filling…
Sure, the choice is yours Vinny. Thank you.
What a great idea to make a sandwich/wrap like this! I must give it a try!
