Potato Sandwiches
I was shocked to see all of the talk about potato burgers and potato sandwiches on Face book a day or two ago. I thought I was the only person to remember about them from when my mother used to make them for my lunches. Would you believe that I still, to this day, make myself a potato sandwich about once a week or so? When I don't know what I want or can't come up with another idea, I turn to my old faithful, the potato sandwich.
I googled the potato sandwich and I was amazed at how many kinds of them were on there. However. the potato sandwich I make was not like any of them. There were so many listed that had all kinds of other stuff on them. The ones I make are just plain potato sandwiches. I sometimes fry round potato slices and put them on bread and spread mustard on them--that is a potato sandwich! Other times I might bake the potato in the microwave and then slice it for the sandwich. Either way, it is scrumptious.
When I was a kid and my mother made them for my lunch she did it because we didn't have a lot of money and could not always afford to have meat sandwiches. Also, she usually made my sandwiches with biscuits because we didn't always have bought bread on hand. I remember being embarrassed for other kids to see my biscuit sandwiches. Now there would be no need to be embarrassed about having potato sandwiches on biscuits because about a week ago I paid $3.49 for ten pounds of potatoes. That is not cheap!
If you have not tried a potato sandwich lately, do so, because they are GOOD! You can put whatever else on your sandwich you would like but I like my true potato sandwich with just potato slices and mustard.

Add some onion and/or green tomato relish. We put ours on hamburger buns until I became diabetic. Now, I slice the potato rounds, toss them in about a TBSP of olive oil, and bake them on a cookie sheet. Then we eat them on whole wheat bread. Not as good as the good old potato burger and not the ideal diabetic meal, but definitely an acceptable substitute.
