Ingredients 

  • 2 slices whole grain rye bread (with whole grain logo)
  • 200 grams new potatoes
  • 4 asparagus spears
  • 2 radishes
  • tbsp. mayonnaise
  • A little butter for the bread
  • A little butter for the bread

Instructions 

  • Place the potatoes in a pot with water and add a little salt. Bring the water to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat and let the potatoes sit in the hot water for about 1 hour. This method makes them perfect for open-faced sandwiches.
  • (Alternatively, you can cook the potatoes over low heat, keeping an eye on them until they are tender.)
  • Blanch the asparagus for one minute so they remain crisp. Slice the radishes thinly and cut the cooled potatoes into 1–2 cm slices.
  • Spread butter on the whole grain rye bread and arrange the potato slices on top, slightly overlapping like roof tiles. Pipe or spread small dollops of mayonnaise on the potatoes.
  • Top with two asparagus spears and some radish slices. Sprinkle a little salt and freshly ground pepper over the sandwiches before serving.
