Want something quick and tasty to nibble on? Make some chutney sandwiches!

There are so many ways you can have them … as a mid-morning snack at work, with a hot cup of tea in front of the television (my favourite) or just when the mood grabs you, wherever and whenever. Honestly, they’re so easily assembled that I don’t have to think twice about making them. I’ve even put some in my kids’ lunch bags occasionally and they haven’t complained. They’ve actually rather liked them! And the good thing is that when you’ve made one batch of chutney, it lasts a few days in the fridge. So you don’t have to make it fresh every time you want to have these beauties.

The cilantro-mint chutney is what gives these sandwiches their unique taste, but you can experiment with the other ingredients. Sometimes I’ve tried other combos with the chutney like shredded cheese, tomatoes,  lettuce or a giant all-in-one sandwich that has a little bit of everything! A little cheddar right on top of the potatoes tastes especially good if you are partial to cheese. Here’s a really good cheese and vegetables sandwich from Delighted Baking you might want to try, if you want a different version. However, if you want to keep it simple and fuss-free, the potatoes do taste great by themselves.
