For the potatoes, melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until soft and golden.
Meanwhile butter one side of each piece of bread and season. Fry the bread, on the buttered side for 1 minute and dust with pepper. Spread mustard on the soft, unbuttered side of the bread and reserve.
To assemble the sandwiches, layer the potatoes, leeks, horseradish and roast beef on the toasted bread, top with bread to form a sandwich, cut diagonally, secure with a toothpick and serve with watercress.
