The rich and tasty flavor of letcho permeates this savory dish, making it an excellent choice for an appetizer or side. Whether you fry or bake them, these vegetable “sandwiches” are delicious and satisfying.
2 tablespoons Gefen Potato Starch
1/4 cup Gefen Ground Almonds
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 small or medium eggplants, peeled, sliced, and salted to remove bitterness
2 egg whites, beaten
oil, for frying or drizzling
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 large onions, peeled and diced
2 medium or large beef tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 red pepper, peeled and diced
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon Gefen Potato Starch
1/4 cup water, as needed
Mix potato starch, ground almonds, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Dip eggplant slices in egg whites and then in the crumb mixture.
Heat oil in a large pan. Fry coated eggplant, turning to cook through and brown evenly on both sides.
Alternatively, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Place eggplant on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or spray both sides with oil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until cooked through and crispy.
Set eggplant aside.
In a medium-size nonstick pot, cook potatoes in a little water until soft; drain and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions until golden and soft. Add tomatoes, pepper, and salt and cook until softened, stirring once or twice. Remove about a quarter of the letcho mixture and set aside.
Stir in potato starch, water, potatoes, and salt; remove from heat.
Mash mixture with a potato masher, until mostly smooth. Allow to cool.
Place a slice of eggplant on your work surface and top with a thick layer of letcho mashed potatoes, then top with another slice of eggplant.
Repeat with remaining eggplant and filling. Top each sandwich with some of the reserved letcho.

Does this freeze well?
We wouldn’t suggest it because of the breading, but you can freeze it.
