1
Prepare the Sandwich
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Layer the cheese on top, then place the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
2
Grill the Sandwich
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
3
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve warm.

4
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve immediately with the grilled cheese sandwich.
