Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the potatoes, the star of our sandwich. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush to remove all dirt from the crevices. Boiling them with the skin on helps retain their natural flavor.
Step 2
Place the cleaned potatoes in a pot and add 0.5 Tbsp of salt. Pour in enough water to cover about 80% of the potatoes. Adding salt while boiling enhances the potatoes’ inherent taste.
Step 3
Now, cover the pot and boil over high heat for about 20 minutes. The boiling time may vary slightly depending on the size of your potatoes, so it’s a good idea to test for tenderness by piercing them with a fork.
Step 4
After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil for another 10 minutes. This step ensures the potatoes are cooked through evenly while maintaining their structure and preventing them from becoming mushy.
Step 5
Drain all the cooking water, then cover the pot with the lid and let it steam on very low heat for about 2 minutes. This steaming process helps evaporate excess moisture from the potatoes, resulting in a fluffier texture.
Step 6
Once steamed, remove the hot potatoes from the pot and let them cool slightly. It’s easier to peel them when they are warm but not scalding hot. Wait until they are comfortable to touch.
Step 7
Peeling the potatoes while they are still warm makes the process much easier. Using a spoon to gently scrape off the skins can help minimize the loss of potato flesh.
Step 8
Place the peeled potatoes in a bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Small lumps are acceptable, but aim for a relatively even consistency.
Step 9
Prepare the salad ingredients. Finely dice the dill pickles and bell pepper. Adding these finely chopped vegetables to the mashed potatoes will significantly improve both texture and visual appeal. Ensure the canned corn is thoroughly drained before adding it to the bowl with the mashed potatoes, mayonnaise, and mustard sauce.
Step 10
Using a spatula or spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients in the bowl. Press down gently as you mix to help bind the ingredients together as the potatoes are further broken down.
Step 11
Now, let’s make the ricotta cheese spread to add an extra layer of flavor. In a small bowl, simply combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth. This creates a simple yet sophisticated spread.
Step 12
Prepare three slices of whole wheat bread. Toast them lightly or pan-fry until golden brown. Spread the prepared ricotta cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread using a spoon or knife. This adds a lovely creaminess and enhances the bread’s flavor.
Step 13
Generously spoon the potato salad onto the bread slices already coated with the ricotta cheese spread. Ensure the salad covers the bread edge-to-edge for a more appealing presentation.
Step 14
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over the finished sandwiches for a decorative touch. Your delicious and visually appealing potato salad open sandwiches are now ready to be enjoyed!
