Who am I to tell you how to make a dang sandwich?

I don’t know how much mayonnaise you like to spread on your bread.  I don’t know how spicy you like your mustard.  I don’t know how cheesy you like your situation.  I can’t know how tall you like to stack your ham.

I don’t want to get into your sandwich making business.  It’s a personal thing.  I know.

But!  May I just offer you two humble suggestions?

Pickles and Potato Chips.  Inside.

You knew this was bound to happen.

Typical animal.  Always after the good stuff with his smelling nose.

Grilled ham and cheese is easy .  I don’t have to convince you that it’s a simple and delicious sandwich.  Adding pickles and potato chips is a salty, crunchy stroke of genius.  Enjoy warm, just after grilling, with a hearty handful of potato chips.

Grilled Ham Cheese Pickle and Potato Chip Sandwich

You’ll need:

2 slices of sandwich bread

Dijon mustard

cheddar cheese sliced thin

about 5 thinly sliced pieces of ham

sliced dill pickles

a handful of salted potato chips

1 tablespoon of butter for grilling

What you’ll do:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Spread mustard over both sides of bread.  Top with cheese, ham, pickles, potato chips, and more cheese.

Smash sandwich breads together.  Grill in melted butter on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Slice in half.  Serve immediately before the chips get soggy.

  • I put chips on my burgers when I make th em at home….sooo yummy.

  • Oh my…you’ve made me want one of these! I’m a fan of both potato crisp sandwiches, and chip butties (hot chips) as well as chips in burgers, but can say I’ve never toasted one!

  • Yum! Is there anything better than crisps on a sandwich.

  • That sandwhich looks completely perfect.

  • Oh My! I blogged about this too recently in a fit of nostalgia!
    Have you tried using horseradish+mayo instead of mustard and the crinkle onion and cheese chips? It’s one of my tricks of the crisp sandwich… shhhh.

  • Great stuff! There is a lady who owns a small hole in the wall restaurant here and she does a fish sandwich with the fried haddock of traditional Friday night fish fry fame, slaw, and french fries right in the sandwich. She uses sort of a fat soft hoagie roll. It’s awesome!

  • I just had dinner and now I want a sandwich! You seem like such a dear person…love all your posts!

  • I don’t know why I torture myself by looking at non-GF blogs since going GF. I used to do this all the time as a kid – chips in sandwiches. Best thing ever. Btw, in the second picture, did you place those chips in a heart shape…!? Because it sure looks heart-shapey to me! <3

  • as a kid and adult, fried bologna and potato chips. plain. While in school the sandwich would be cold by lunch, didn’t matter to me, my chips went on there anyway. Washed it down with chocolate milk from my thermos, nothing better.

  • As a child I favored peanut butter, jelly, and potato chip sandwiches. Thanks for the reminder to try it again.
