Behold the Greatest Man Sandwich in the World.
When I made this recently (pre-Covid) and popped this pic up on Instagram it caused such excitement that I decided it HAD to be the recipe of the month. It’s one of those “sounds weird, tastes good” movie star recipes. Plus of course, it has a brilliant name. Who doesn’t want to either a) be a man eating the Greatest Man Sandwich in the World.
b) be a woman cocking a snook in Gene’s general direction and eating the Greatest Man Sandwich in the World?
Why should men have all the best ones?!
Gene’s is not a sandwich as we Brits know would it (we’d bung another slice of bread on top as a lid) but it is sooooo good! I vow to always have one of these part baked baguettes
and some of this genius modern day Smash
in the cupboard at all times so I can have one of these whenever I feel like it. Here’s a pic that shows potato/onion/mayo ratio I used.
Next time I’m going to put MORE onions on. I was worried the raw onion taste would be too much but no, it’s all part of it! Gonna use red onion next time too probably.
You want one of these don’t you? Make it immediately! Has to be baguette style bread though I reckon. I don’t think ordinary bread could take the weight!
Of course, I cannot go without sharing this…
Heaven x
Only problem here is that I never have any left over mash ! And if I got some of that mash I’d just put cheddar on it or liquor !
I am the same regarding leftover mash. If I do some, I immediately want to turn it into bubble and squeak with whatever I can find. Those pots of SMASH are addictive. I always have a couple in the back of the sideboard x
Yes, with you on the bubble, would much rather put that on a potato cake or soda bread/ muffin ! Maybe Gene should just stick to the tap dancing after all !
Haha – I might try this recipe with some bubble & squeak – yum!
