Being a mum means juggling a million things every day. Between school runs, playdates, work, and everything in between, finding the time to make lunch that’s both quick and delicious can feel like a bit of a challenge. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back! I’m obsessed with this Crispy Cheesy Potato Slice recipe, it checks all the boxes—simple, quick, and full of flavour.
I’ve already shared a courgette version (which is fantastic, by the way), but today, I’m all about Crispy Cheesy Potato Slices. They’re seriously the easiest, most addictive snack or meal—and can be turned into a sandwich for a proper lunch.
These crispy cheesey potato slices make a great base for any sandwich filling you like. I went for a classic combo: mayo, lettuce, tomato, and a few slices of serrano ham. (Seriously, it’s a game-changer!) But feel free to get creative. Chicken, avocado, or even a bit of smoked salmon would work wonders too.
