A Chip Butty is a chip sandwich.
The natural home of the chip butty is Britain (a chip butty is an exotic beast in the USA); therefore the term nearly always refers to a sandwich made from what is called a "chip" in Britain - a fried length of potato, a french fry, NOT the US version of potato chip ("crisp" in Britain,or "potato wafers" elsewhere). Ideally, make with home fries (fatter than French fries).
Ingredients
- 2 slices of white/whole wheat bread
- Hot chips
- Ketchup
- Butter
Steps
-
1Butter your bread. Make sure you have a good layer of butter on each slice of bread - chip butties are well known for being sopping with butter! Only real butter will do; no cheating with margarine!
-
2Add the chips. Place a heaping layer of hot chips on your bread. Chips (called french fries in the USA) are what give the chip butty its name. The chips should make up the main portion of the sandwich.Advertisement
