Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 potato
  • 1 handful cabbage
  • 2 slices bread
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 slices cheese
  • 1/2 tomato
  • 1/2 avocado
  • ketchup (as needed)
  • olive oil (a little)
  • salt (a little)
  • pepper (a little)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Using a grater or mandoline, thinly shred the potato and cabbage.
  2. Season the shredded vegetables with salt and pepper, then mix well.
  3. Heat a pan with a little olive oil, add the vegetables, and shape into a thick, round patty. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, melt butter on the edge of the pan for extra flavor, and place the bread slices in the empty space to toast.
  5. Place 2 slices of cheese on top of the cooked vegetable patty and let it melt naturally with the residual heat.
  6. Spread ketchup evenly on one side of the toasted bread, then layer the cheesy vegetable patty, sliced tomato, and avocado. Cover with the other bread slice to finish.
  1. Thinly shred the potato and cabbage.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, then pan-fry the vegetables into a thick patty.
  3. Toast the bread with butter, then top the vegetable patty with cheese.
  4. Spread ketchup on the bread, layer with the vegetable patty, tomato, and avocado to complete.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If the heat is too high, the outside may burn while the inside remains undercooked. Cook gently over medium-low heat.
  • After toasting, stand the bread slices slightly apart to keep the heat in and maintain crispiness longer.
  • Adding avocado gives the old-school sandwich a richer, creamier flavor with a touch of elegance.
