Potato Salad Sandwich

mary said:

I was attending a function, and ate a small open face sandwich that turned
out to have as a topping potato salad. It really tasted good.I then thought
about making a potato salad regular sandwich. Does such a sandwich sound
strange? I will make it without telling my wife what is in it, and get her
reaction. Any suggestions other than the normal type things in potato salad.

Thanks

Tom

Just say that it's an egg salad sandwich with potatoes.

Here are things you could add to potato salad as a sandwich filling:

Bacon
Peas and curry powder
Shrimp and dill

Next time you're going to use your wife as a guinea pig, though, it
shouldn't be for something as mundane as a potato salad sandwich. Make
sweet-and-sour tripe, see how she likes it, and then tell her what it is.
Cricketburgers and sweetbreads are also great "surprise!" foods.

So tell us, Bob, how many times have you been married? And how much do
you pay each month for security to keep your ex-wives from killing you?

Married? I've *never* been married.

Gee, I wonder what the problem is... :-)

Tasty - but none the less a little strange. For the most part sandwiches
are a pretty good balance or carbohydrates (Bread) Fat, (Butter or Mayo) and
some protein (meat, cheese, eggs peanut butter etc.) A potato salad sandwich
is off balance. But, now having said that if you like it and it tastes good
to you - go for it.

what is tripe?

I've put potato salad into barbecued-pork sandwiches, and into Dagwood-style
corned beef (or pastrami) sandwiches. It didn't seem weird at the time, and
the sandwiches were still fairly well balanced.

I'm guessing you've not come across the famous British chip buttie.

I used to eat fried potato sandwiches & potato chip sandwiches!!! Don't
any more,
only because I'm a diabetic & have to watch my carbs!!! Those
sandwiches were real yummy!!!

I was listening to the Glenn Beck radio show the other day and he was talking
about Mashed Potato Pizza, which sounds like a carb overload but sounds tasty.
As I remember the recipe, he said he uses one of those premade Pizza crusts
like Boboli, then makes up mashed potatoes and doctors them up good with sour
cream and chives and bacon and cream cheese, which I'm guessing will help hold
the potato mixture on the crust. The mashed potato mixture is spread on the
crust, and topped with mozzarella and baked until the mozzarella is bubbly. If
I weren't trying to lose weight I think I would give it a try.

Used to be a place called Spudzza on Snelling and Grand in St. Paul.
Crust, thin layer of sliced spuds, sour cream sauce, roma tomatoes,
basil, maybe some cheese. Baked. To die for. I used to look for them
at the State Fair. Alas no more. Pity.

I have tried a potato salad sandwich because I heard of this and wanted
to serve it to a friend who was vegetarian. Its actually not bad.

My recommendation - how I made it- Buy some nice fresh rolls that are
not too hard on top. Add lettuce and a thin slice of good tomato.
Pile on mayo based potato salad. Enjoy. Actually it was not bad and
something I might try again especially in the summer.

I think just taking store bought "wonder bread" and plastering on some
insipid potato salad would not be good but if its made with care, it is
not weird at all and rather tasty.

Funny you should say that, I made a couple of potato salad rolls the other
day to use up the remainders.
Nice. Not too much filling though as it gets stodgy.
Reminds me of a question I meant to ask here.... I'll start a new thread.
Potato Salad Variations I think.

A potato salad tarted up with extra lemon juice on toasted Jewish rye is
very tasty.

Nice.
I always use small new potatoes (skin on but scrubbed), boil them whole (or
halve if need be) and add the additions once cooled.
I'll have to try the mashed variety sometime.
