Method
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients: bread, cheddar cheese, and butter.
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Grill the Sandwich
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve.
Fries
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, depending on your preference.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the cut potatoes into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
Serve
Serve the fries hot alongside the grilled cheese sandwich.
