Tuna, Egg, and Potato Salad Sandwich
- 2 thick slices rustic-style bread
- 1 egg
- 1 small new potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 (2.8-ounce) can top-quality imported Italian or Spanish solid tuna in olive oil
- 2 green olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 or 5 baby spinach leaves, stacked, rolled, and thinly sliced
- Halfway fill a medium bowl with cold water and add a cup of ice.
- Preheat the oven broiler with the rack set 4 to 5 inches from the flame or element.
- Toast the bread under the broiler until deep golden brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a dinner plate.
- In a small saucepan set over high heat, bring a quart of water to a boil.
- Using an egg pricker or a thumbtack, carefully poke a hole just through the egg shell on the rounder end.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the egg into the water, along with the potato cubes.
- As soon as the water returns to a boil, decrease the heat to medium-low or low so that the water is barely bubbling.
- Cook the egg and potato together for 8 minutes (for a slightly soft yolk in the very center) or 9 minutes for a fully cooked yolk.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg and potato cubes to the bowl of ice water.
- When the egg is cool enough to handle, scoop it out and crack it all over against the countertop.
- Remove a piece of shell from the rounder end and return the egg to the water.
- After a minute or two, slip off the rest of the shell and transfer the egg to a cutting board.
- When it cools, coarsely chop it and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.
- Scoop the potato pieces out of the water and transfer them to the bowl.
- Add the tuna, olives, and 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise to the bowl and stir to combine, adding up to another tablespoon of mayonnaise if you want a creamier mixture.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the sandwich, sprinkle the spinach leaves onto the toasted side of one of the slices of bread, and top with the tuna-egg-potato salad and the other slice of bread, toasted side facing inward.
- Cut in half and eat.
