A grilled potato sandwich (or Aloo Sandwich) with a spiced mashed potato stuffing is a popular Indian sandwich variety. All you need to make these sandwiches are some boiled potatoes, ground spices, herbs, cheese, butter and bread of your choice. Grill them, toast them or enjoy them as is.
These potato sandwiches are flavored and spiced with Indian herbs and spices. But the recipe is completely customizable. You can choose to season and flavor the potato stuffing with the herbs and spices that you like.
I have used the same recipe for the spiced potato stuffing masala, which I always make for Aloo Paratha.
I make these aloo sandwich with homemade Whole Wheat Bread. I generally make a loaf of bread or dinner rolls sometimes. These get used up in making various snacks like sandwiches and sometimes desserts like bread pudding. With the dinner rolls I make popular Indian street food snacks Misal Pav and Pav bhaji.
You can use any bread which you like or prefer for making these potato sandwiches. A day old bread is also fine. But according to me homemade bread is always better.
This aloo sandwich can be served hot or warm with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney or mint chutney or mayonnaise dip or any cheese dip. They do make for a good breakfast or brunch or snack option for kids. If you're looking for more Indian breakfast ideas, you may also like this Poha Recipe (Kanda Poha).

Dassana's Notes
Potatoes: Use the one with a high to medium starch content like Yukon gold, russet or Idaho potatoes. Don't use new potatoes or baby potatoes.
Bread: You can use any variety of soft bread.
Herbs and seasonings: Feel free to add herbs and spices that you like. This sandwich recipe is completely customizable to suit your taste buds. You can also add some mint leaves, in place of coriander leaves or half-half of both.
Spicing: To make spicy sandwiches, add more green chilies and red chili powder. You can also add finely chopped ginger to the potato stuffing, and/or apply some coriander or mint chutney on the buttered bread slices.
Alternatives: In place of red chili powder, you can also use paprika. If you don't have dried mango powder, then add ¼ teaspoon lemon juice.
Cheese: The cheese is optional but it does make the sandwich more filling. If using cheese, make sure it is fresh and not rancid. Obviously, the cheese will melt in the sandwich when grilled. So, eat the sandwiches hot or warm. For the complete original step-by-step method with photos, you can also refer to the original Potato Sandwich Recipe on Veg Recipes of India.

Directions
How to make Potato Sandwich (Stepwise)
Step 1
Make Potato Stuffing
First rinse 2 to 3 medium sized potatoes thoroughly in water. Then boil or steam them until fork tender in a pan, or pressure cooker or Instant pot.
When the potatoes have become warm then peel them. Mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl. You can mash them with a fork or a potato masher.
Then add the following ingredients:
- 1 to 2 finely chopped green chilies
- ¼ teaspoon kashmiri chilli powder or paprika (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon dry mango powder or as per taste. Skip if you don't have or add ¼ teaspoon lemon juice for a slight tang.
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder (ground cumin)
- ½ to 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (cilantro). Swap mint leaves with coriander leaves. Or add half-half of both.
- salt as required.
Mix well. Taste the stuffing and add more salt if needed.
Step 2
Assemble the Sandwich
Take 8 to 10 bread slices on a chopping board. Spread softened butter generously on them. Place some of the spiced potato stuffing on the buttered bread slices.
To make these sandwiches spicy and more flavorsome you can opt to spread some coriander chutney or mint chutney on the butter.
Top with grated cheese if required. You can use cheddar cheese or processed cheese or mozzarella cheese. Or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. I have used cheddar cheese.
If you are not fond of cheese then you can skip adding them. The addition of cheese makes the sandwich more filling.
Cover with the remaining buttered bread slices. Spread butter lightly on the top of the slices.
Step 3
Grill the Sandwich
In a pre heated grill or panini press, place the aloo sandwich carefully with the buttered side facing down, making sure your hands don't touch the grill.
Note: Be careful when doing this. If you cannot do this then just skip the above step. Instead spread butter once the sandwiches are grilled.
Now spread butter on the top side which is facing you.
Grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until sandwiches are crisp, golden and toasted well. Assemble and grill the remaining sandwiches this way.
Serve potato sandwich hot or warm with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney or mint chutney or any dipping sauce of your choice.
These sandwiches don't become soggy and they can be packed for short journeys or lunch box. Just remember to omit the cheese if packing for short journeys or lunch box
