Grilled Cheese Sandwich

French Fries

Method

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Take 4 slices of bread and lay them out on a clean cutting board.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Top the cheese with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside of each sandwich.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwiches butter-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Flip and Grill

    Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Remove from skillet, slice in half, and set aside while you prepare the fries.

French Fries

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then peel and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 10

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully place the potato strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. 11

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while they're still hot.

  5. 12

    Serve

    Serve the fries alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic meal.
