This blurb is not a MyStory but my UncleHu's story ...

Gran'maBelle had 5 young boys to feed ... she took their lunch to them at school. Since it was during the Depression, sometimes they would have potato sandwiches ... the other kids were envious 'cause the Bell boys were getting a hot lunch.

Times are not tough for me, but I made-up my own recipe for a hot potato sandwich - using either hash brown or mashed potatoes - shallow-fry a latka (potato pancake) with flour & egg to help hold it together, then serve on a yeast roll or muffin or thick slices of toasted sourdough or rye bread.  I'm sure Gran'ma Belle did what she could to fancify it for the boys, so I add cheese with either bacon or sausage, too ... bon appetit  ...
