1
Assemble the Sandwich
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on the bottom half of each roll.
2
Add Ham and Cheese
Layer two slices of ham and one slice of gouda cheese on each roll. Top with a few slices of onion.
3
Finish the Sandwich
Spread 1 tablespoon of garlic aioli on the top half of each roll and place it over the filled bottom half.
4
Bake
Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
While the sandwiches are baking, heat the oil in a deep frying pot over medium-high heat. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
6
Fry the Shoestrings
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shoestring potatoes in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste while still hot.
