Americans have finally discovered the good old sandwich batata

Every Lebanese person is familiar with sandwich batata. It’s a sandwich that contains french fries, coleslaw, and ketchup. It’s simple, and we love it. The American media outlet The Insider recently shared a video of a restaurant in Istanbul that is making Patso, which is the Turkish version of sandwich batata.
