Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread
- 8 thin slices bologna (not garlic) – I prefer thin slices but you can go with 4 thicker slices
- 4 tablespoon grape jelly
- 2 cups potato chips, regular flavor
- 1 tablespoon butter plus 2 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. If you have a grill plate, this works even better as you have more surface area.
- Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan.
- When the butter is melted place 2 thin slices (1 one thick slice) of bologna (however many you can fit without crowding) in the pan. *note to prevent ‘doming’ prior to putting the bologna in the pan, cut a slit from the edge to the middle of the slice.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until the edges are golden brown.
- Flip the bologna over and cook for another 3 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- While the bologna is cooking (after you’ve flipped it) prepare the bread by spreading 1 tablespoon divided evenly on one side of each slice of bread. So if you’re frying up only 2 pieces of bologna, only jelly 2 slices of bread.
- Place one slice down, jelly side up and place a small handful of potato chips on top.
- Take your fried bologna from the pan and place on top of the chips.
- Place another small handful of chips on top and then take the other slice of bread placing it jelly side down on top of the chips.
- Gently push down on the sandwich (some chips will break but that’s OK).
- Take the melted butter and lightly brush the top of the sandwich.
- Working carefully, flip the sandwich over and place it buttered side down in the pan.
- Grill on each side for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat steps for each sandwich if you aren’t using a grill plate.
