1
Slice the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potato Slices
Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
4
Fry the Chips
Drain and pat the potato slices dry with paper towels. Carefully add them in batches to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
5
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

6
Fry the Mortadella
In a skillet over medium heat, add the mortadella slices and fry until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7
Toast the Buns
While the mortadella is frying, cut the kaiser buns in half and toast them in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown.
8
Assemble the Sandwich
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the crispy mortadella, followed by a slice of smoked gouda. Drizzle with hot honey to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
