Potatoes and comfort food

[JellySlice]

AIBU to maintain that there's no such thing as too much butter or soured cream on a jacket potato, and that a mashed potato sandwich between doorsteps of naice white bread is a perfectly reasonable thing to eat?

You were doing so well with your butter assertion, but a mashed potato sandwich is freakish. Not to be confused with freekeh, although similarly inedible.

I've never heard of a mash potato sandwich.

Mashed potato (with butter, salt and some chopped onion) in a sandwich made with toast, add some cheese, blacked pepper ....food of the gods!

Hungry now.

Sounds delicious. Do you add any spices?

That’s just a poor mans potato farle right?

I was with you up until the sandwich. Although I have never tried it, so maybe I would like it?! Bread good, potatoes good....

I love mash but don't think it belongs on a sandwich. Too soft for a start!

I love mash, but in a sandwich?! Urgghh.

Isn't the sandwich just a sort of squishy chip butty, OP? We were with you up until then. No amount of butter, sour cream etc is ever too much on a spud. Jacket potatoes exisit to be topping and butter vehicles.

The sandwich has to be experienced to be understood. It has to be good white bread. Buttered, of course, and not too much mash - about 1cm thick - but after that it's up to you... I'll allow Dyslexic's onion, though it would be anathema to me. Ketchup is good. Though I prefer a little grainy mustard and thin-sliced strong cheddar.

Believe it or not, it works equally well with a little honey, syrup or jam.

Can’t beat a mashed potato sarnie, with vinegar of course....

Vinegar! Noooooo!

Mashed potato on or in garlic bread is the one.

Cold mash on hot buttered toast with salad cream is amazing.

As is hot mash on thickly buttered bread, also with salad cream.

YUM!!

Learn to make farles op, you’ll be a in heaven.

Nah really chunky oven chips lots of butter salt and nice bread.

Never had a mashed potato sandwich but I did have a massive craving for potato waffle sandwiches when I was pregnant. Weird, I know. I gave into the craving on a couple of occasions and 'twas glorious!

With garlic bread...mmmmmmm...yes.

Cold potatoes with salad cream - definitely, yes. Though not necessarily comfort food as such.

Hot potatoes with salad cream...hmm...will have to try this.

Chip butty, while awesome, isn't really comfort food IMO. More had-one-drink-too-many-and-now-I've-got-the-munchies food!

I once ate a chicken and gravy pie sandwich - was lush

I have never tried a mashed potato sandwich but I'm up for it. It's not that different to a Spanish omelette sandwich. A Spanish omelette made properly i.e. so that it's mostly potato and hardly egg, slightly warm, with a good thick wedge of Spanish bread, or similar, and loads of butter. That is truly the food of the gods.

Mmm cold mashed potato :)

I'm quite partial to a cold bread sauce and gravy sarnie at christmas!

thick sliced tiger loaf with cold dry mash, ketchup and crushed salt and vinegar crisps. maybe a quorn sausage cut lengthways too. lots of freshly cracked black pepper.

I'm with Billy on the cold bread sauce sandwich. Food of the Gods. However, it needs to be accompanied by my homemade blackberry jelly, not gravy.

I had a bit of a fainting episode the other day when a friend admitted to never having bread sauce with Christmas dinner and another friend said she buys it! Seriously considering these 'friendships' now....

When we have a roast dinner, it’s always accompanied with bread and butter. I will put almost everything onto my bread and make a sandwich. Delicious

goes off to make a mashed potato sandwich. Might add some cheese and turn it into w toastie. How have I never thought of this?
