Recipe Notes
Tiffin Pairing
Apple or orange adds natural sweetness and a refreshing bite alongside the spiced potato filling.Make-Ahead Tip
Boil and mash the potato the night before and refrigerate the mixed filling in a covered container.Quick Swap
Leave out the onion for a simpler filling. A little ketchup or mint chutney spread inside adds extra flavour if your child prefers that to butter.Allergen Note
Contains wheat/gluten (bread). Butter is a dairy product if used - leave it out for a dairy-free version.Spice Note
Green chilli is optional - the potato filling is mild and tasty even without it.Packing Tip
Wrapping the sandwich in parchment paper helps keep it fresh and prevents it from drying out by lunchtime.Recipe Nutrition
