Recipe: Kartoffelmad – Danish open-faced potato sandwich
The Kartoffelmad (open-faced potato sandwich) is a beloved Danish smørrebrød, especially during the summer months. It is also one of the only vegetarian smørrebrød classics, and if you use vegan mayonnaise, it is vegan too. In Denmark, the open-faced potato sandwich is often sprinkled with bacon, but I have left that out and added sunflower seeds instead for some crunch. You can make the sandwich with all kinds of potatoes, but I think the smaller ones are the easiest to work with, as some of the larger, more mealy potatoes will fall apart when sliced. If you are using small, thin-skinned potatoes, you can leave the peel on.
In Denmark, the most commonly used curry is a mild, yellow curry powder. It’s typically a blend of turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and other spices, resulting in a fragrant but not overly spicy flavor profile. You can use any curry powder you like.
