How do you make one you ask?
Well let me tell you, there is a right way and wrong way. The wrong way involves harder bread, margarine and flavoured chips. * shudders* just wrong on every level.
Here is the correct way.
1st -start with the freshest, squishiest, softest bread you can get. Nothing too crusty like a baguette. It should be at room temperature
(As I rarely eat bread I go for the Sesame White spongey bread and totally indulge.)
2nd -take out 2 pieces of said spongey bread and lay them down on a clean counter and butter them right to the edges
*real butter is necessary, chilled but not hard, don't skimp, this is the 'glue'
3rd -start the laying of the chips. :)
(I recommend Lays Classic Potato Chips, no trans-fats, no sulfites and nice and salty. )
overlap the flattest and biggest chips you can find, like laying tile on a roof, on one piece of bread only.
Lay chips right to the edge of the bread until you have about an inch of chips stacked
You don't want to rush this step, the integrity of the sammich depends on it
4th, and this is tricky!
- take other piece of bread and cover the chips gently creating a sammich.
Once in place with all corners lined up, SQUISH, without wiggling, with the palm of your hand, then SQUISH again.
This is where that soft bread and butter become glue and hold those slippery chips in place. Your sammich will have decreased in height by about 2/3 of an inch.
5th- carefully lift without tilting onto your plate and using a serrated knife, gently cut sammich in half.
( Do not cut before placing on plate..trust me, you will be sorry, especialy if those were the last chips in the bag.)
6th-Lift 1/2 sammich to your mouth, don't worry, some chips will fall it takes practice...... and take a big bite.....Noms!
Oh Canadians, what have you done??
ReplyDeleteI thought we had crossed all the available lines with peanut butter and butter, bacon and peanut butter, mayonnaise and lettuce, chocolate chip cookie on bread and potato chips on a PB&J.... but chips with BUTTER on white bread???
Geez...
I can't even think about trying it...too much grease in one place! At least use cream cheese or maybe a sour cream dip instead of butter?
I iz skeered Kimmee....
For me it was always the PB&J with tater chis squished on....
Oh Canada...
You would like this..use good bread, and really good natural baked chips...noms
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteWe'll see.
Never have chips in the house (addictive!) but might try someday.
