This recipe was sent in to me a long while back and I have to apologize to whomever sent it as I didn’t not write that information down. Sorry about that! This comes from a recipe book of food the stars purportedly ate. This is the submission from actor and dance Gene Kelly. All he had to do was use “he-man” instead of “man” to make the name sounds ludicrously out of touch by today’s standard. On paper, this didn’t sound like it was going to be all that impressive. Then I tried it.

Gene Kelly was from Pittsburgh and obviously inherited that city's great love of putting potatoes on top of their sandwiches. Never a bad thing.

@Breadonbread98 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately he did not put any coleslaw. Like a pirmantes sandwich.

@SeattleSoulFan 3 месяца назад

I'm from a town outside Philadelphia--opposite end of PA--and we didn't do that. I didn't experience it even when we visited my uncle and his family in Pittsburgh. How much credit goes to the sandwich, and how much to the beer?

This is hilarious to me! My grandpa moved back east from New Mexico for work. He liked it there but he couldn't get used to the food. (This was back in the middle of the 20th century) He used to say that people there would be happiest with a mashed potato sandwich with mayonnaise on white bread. And, here it is the very thing. I may have to make this just to rile up Grandpa's ghost. 😂

@joshweinstein5345 7 месяцев назад

Wow, I did not expect that to be good, either. You should do a round-up video of "Unexpectedly Delicious Sandwiches"

I've never had leftover mashed potatoes in my house but if I ever do...perhaps it will make me able to dance like Gene Kelly.

@shawnbottom4769 7 месяцев назад

Maybe plus up with some thin prosciutto. Or really go for it with some leftover corned beef or pot roast. I definitely want to try this one.

@SillyNolan 7 месяцев назад

If you put prosciutto in an air fryer for about 3 minutes it becomes very baconlike.

@davea136 7 месяцев назад

Old kitchen trick for cold butter - run the knife across the top of the butter so that you get a thin curl. Then it is very easy to spread, even when the butter is rock hard.

@LindaM2005 7 месяцев назад

It would taste different each time, depending on how you seasoned your mashed potatoes as well, if you put garlic, or cheese, or lots of herbs in the potatoes, for example. As an aside, I LOVE Gene Kelly. He was my favourite of the big screen movie musical performers, especially as Brigadoon was my favourite musical.

Gene Kelly was a dancer on into the 1980s, see the great movie Xanadu, starring Olivia Newton John (I'm using "great" sarcastically).

As a carb lover this gets a massive 👍 from me. No wonder GK was such a human dynamo!

@gmlyla 7 месяцев назад

Wonder if toasting the bread would help, would also help the butter. Looks so good. Im going to mix some Gruyère in the mashed potatoes

I was just watching your Lemon Nut sandwich video and thinking to myself "I wonder if he's ever had a sandwich he never wanted to plus up?" Lo and behold!

@thewefactor1 7 месяцев назад

Singing in the Rain starring Gene Kelly - go watch it. There are a few 'triple-threats' that match Mr.Kelly's talents from recent history that I can think of, he was quite a unique performer...

@thewefactor1 7 месяцев назад

And a sandwich too! 😀

@thewefactor1 7 месяцев назад

James Cagney - 'Yankee Doodle' Medley is another one and also can be watched on RU-vid. However, there are some others that stand out equally... I don't know if they have sandwiches although? I know naming sandwiches after actor/actress' was a popular thing for a while years ago.

@PgLangGang 7 месяцев назад

I bet that's really satisfying with the beer. I'll be trying this soon.

@hjjhm3140 7 месяцев назад

I'd plus it up with some tomato slices on top, or maybe a light sprinkle of shredded cheese before the broiler, definitely going to try the recipe when I have some mashed potatoes handy though.

@infoscholar5221 5 месяцев назад

That's pretty close to Hemingway's Red Onion sandwich, and glass of red wine, Papa's favorite snack, according to the Hemingway Cookbook. Apparently, onion Sammies were all the rage in the 40s and 50s. Who knew?

And vegetarian friendly! Sammy Davis Jr, the epitome of the song and dance man, told Gene Kelly "Around you, I'm just a singer." Seriously, watch some Gene Kelly performances... he was superhuman.

@DesertTigerTR 7 месяцев назад

Only plus up can be adding some protein on it and it is adding protein to non-meaty sandwich but we do not do that here :D

@SandwichesofHistory 7 месяцев назад

You get it 🙌

@ShopKatIndustries 7 месяцев назад

At first...."?" But after it's broiled it looks good, and I can see how it would BE good too! I'mma try this one sometime.

@pinkmonkeybird2644 7 месяцев назад

Gene Kelly’s sandwich, while rich and caloric, sounds delicious. Thanks! I’m going to make these for tea tomorrow. I need to either make a baguette or go to the store to buy one. It’s freaking cold and snowy here, so I suspect I’ll need to find my baguette pan. But regardless, that looks deeply satisfying. But I might add a layer of sharp cheddar grated on top before broiling.

@englishatheart 7 месяцев назад

a good plus up would be something like horseradish (since that goes well with mashed potatoes), ham (b/c duh), or cheddar cheese (b/c again, duh)

@skittlemenow 7 месяцев назад

You could plus it up with garlic salt instead of regular salt. Not a huge difference but I bet one that contributes a bit of complexity to the flavor.

@tsotate 7 месяцев назад

I think just softening the butter enough for spreadability should protect the bread from sogging out. The chunks of butter looked delicious, but didn't form a real moisture barrier.

@michelleb4697 7 месяцев назад

You need a lot of animal protein if you're a pro athlete or a dancer, so I'm surprised that food group is not included in the sandwich, as tasty as it may be.

I know how you feel about plussing up a vegetation sandwich with meat, but this is begging for turkey and a sandwich that isn't a 10 should be plussed up in my opinion.
