Serves as many as you want.

  1. Assemble sandwich as you would normally any sandwich.

  2. Note: Sweet Potato fries: potatoes cut into french frie style. Skins and all. Lightly cover with olive oil, salt and pepper. Put on baking sheet and bake at 400F, tossing a few times, until crisp. Approx. 30 minutes. I always make extra, so I can make this sandwich the next day.

Do you want to make it even more yummy? For this recipe I prefer Iberico ham, you might find it also as jamon iberico. I know it is expensive but the trick is to buy the foreleg called shoulder or paleta rather than the ham (backleg). Paleta or shoulder is much cheaper and for sandwiches, pittas, rolls and “hand food” a wonderful alternative.
I buy my iberico ham at Buyjamon.com

M'mmmm. Even though I don't particularly care for arugula.

I also thought that some finely chopped cabbage would also be good, if you do not like the arugula. Baby arugula is also a little milder. Oh, daikon sprouts would also be great. Still gives you the peppery taste but in a gentler way. I get them at my local asian grocery.

I keep promising myself I will make sweet potato fries - now I will for certain! Tasty...

Sweet potato fries are the best. My sons are insane for them. Some type of spicy aioli tastes so good with them. My six yr old does ketchup, of course. I will put them in my son's lunch box the next day and he still eats them up.

Gorgeous! Love the counterpoint of the sharp arugula against the sweet potato . . . with some good, vinegary mustard to bring it all together. I roast sweet potatoes often, usually when a loaf of bread is baking. I'm sure that a slice or two would work just as well as the fries. I'll have to get the panini maker out and put one of these together for Mr. T!! Love the photo, too. ;o)
