Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Black olives (pitted and sliced)
• 4 pieces Bread slices
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, slice them into thin rounds, and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potato slices and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced black olives, stir to combine, and season with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the buttered side of each slice until golden and crisp.

Step 5

On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Layer with lettuce leaves, fried potatoes, and the olive mixture. Top with another slice of bread (buttered side facing outward) to assemble the sandwich.

Step 6

Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is toasty and the filling is heated through.

Step 7

Slice the sandwiches in half and serve hot. Enjoy!
