Ingredients
Apple-Marjoram Open Faced Sandwich
Scrub potatoes and cook in a pot of boiling salted water until knife-tender, 20-30 minutes, depending on size.
Meanwhile, rinse marjoram and shake dry. Pluck leaves, put some aside and finely chop the rest.
Halve leek lengthwise, rinse well, drain and cut white-part into approximately 1/4-inch slices. (Reserve remaining leek greens for another use.)
Rinse apple, wipe dry and cut around the core into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. Finely dice the apple slices.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add leek, cover and cook over low heat until softened, about 6 minutes.
Add diced apple and chopped marjoram and sauté for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain the potatoes, rinse under cold water, peel while still warm and pass through a potato ricer into a bowl.
Mix apple and leek well, season with salt and pepper and let cool. Divide over slices of bread, sprinkle with reserved oregano leaves and serve.

Even smarter
Do not throw away the flowers of flowering marjoram. Instead, pluck them and use them for garnishing.
