Potato Open-face Sandwich with Tomato and Bacon

It may seem strange to many who live outside of Scandinavian  to make a sandwich with cold potatoes. I know I certainly thought it was astonishing  the first time I saw a friend eat her potato sandwich at work. I assumed she was very poor and had nothing else to eat. How wrong could I be. Now I know that open-face sandwiches with potatoes are so wonderful and people eat them all the time. You can even order them at resaturants.  The classic potato sandwich is just with a little mayonnaise and freshly cut chives. Left-over potatoes are prefect. Be sure and take them out of the refrigerator a few hours before making them. Do not use old baked potatoes, the smaller the better.  When I fry bacon for breakfast, I always save some for my lunch. Here is a great, inexpensisve sandwich you can serve for yourself, but also for guests.
