1
Prepare the Bread and Cheese
Take two slices of bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese on one slice.
2
Butter the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer side of each slice of bread.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
Place the cheese slice on top of the unbuttered side of one slice of bread and cover it with the other slice, buttered side facing out.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.
6
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
7
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8
Drain and Season
Remove the fries using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
