Grill the Sandwich
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- 5
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and set aside.
French Fries
- 6
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.
- 7
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 8
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 9
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown.
- 10
Season the Fries
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and pepper to taste.
- 11
Serve
Serve the fries warm alongside the grilled cheese sandwich.
