French Fries

Method

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Take 2 slices of bread and lay them flat on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of one slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Top with Other Slice

    Cover the cheese with the second slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Butter the Outside

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer side of the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Flip and Grill

    Spread butter on the top side of the sandwich, then flip it over. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve hot.

French Fries

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel 2 medium potatoes. Cut them into thin strips.

  2. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 10

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 11

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt while they are still hot.

  5. 12

    Serve

    Serve the hot French fries alongside the grilled cheese sandwich.
