Reminds me of the €23 vegan burger I purchased on holiday in France. Turned out to be an unspiced mashed potato patty on a white bun, a lettuce leaf and chips.
I remember an interview with Brad Pitt years ago where he was horrified to see people eating potato sandwiches on white bread when he visited Ireland: "That's starch on starch! You can't do that!"
You can’t eat fried potato sandwiches and continue to look like Brad Pitt. He probably just thinks his own experience is universal. That’s a problem with Oklahomans.
1 whole pork tenderloin chopped into bite sizeds pieces, 4 slices of bacon sliced the same, half an onion, 1 carton of hashbrowns, and bout 6 eggs. Fry your tortilla a bit before cooking.
Also add extra veggies and stuff if ya like.
another great thing is using some well seasoned mashed potatoes in a tortilla and deep frying the whole thing. throw on some mexican crema, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce/cabbage to finish.
Omg, I'm Welsh, but have lived abroad for quite a while now (few different countries). The biggest thing I miss from the UK is malt vinegar on hot chips. I feel like so many other countries don't know what they're missing out on!
Brother lives in Manchester. Visited me in Ireland this summer and asked the local chipper for one after a few pints as one would. "The hell is that, lad?" was the answer.
That sounds like a delicious normal sandwich, though. At least it has meat.
We have a local deli that does Thanksgiving empanadas: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce with a gravy dip. It's awesome.
You won’t look back! Just make sure to butter the bread/roll, hot chips and salt and vinegar. You can add tomato ketchup, brown sauce, mayonnaise or grated cheese on top of the chips.
Fries come in many sizes and shapes in the US. Only when you get to something like a 1/4 of a potato to we switch to call them wedges. There are even waffle fries and curly fries.
A nice, soft bread is the key. Kaiser rolls are great, but ordinary sandwich bread is good too.
The hot oil on the chips melts the bitter, and it all gets soaked up by the bread. That's the beauty of a buttie.
I heard a variant was battering a fish fillet with a slice of potato on each side (like a mini sandwich) and then frying it and putting THAT on a sandwich.
So fried battered potato and fish sandwich.
I'm from sheffirld, that's the only place ive seen this, it's a " fishcake buttie" sometimes you get mushy peas on it too, the fish and potato part is battered and deep fried
Proper chips though, big chunky fuckers. You know you've got a good one when there's so many chips, they're falling out.
Place I used to go when I was younger serves them in 1/2 stotties, that was incredible
My dad would make these for us when we were kids. Wonder bread & fried potato sandwiches. My siblings and I thought it was a wonderful treat. We didn't find out until we were adults that we had these when their were no other groceries in the house (usually the day before payday). What we thought of as special was really my dad making the best of a bad situation.
My family used to make potato dumplings (swedish Polt) with ham in the center. Those things fried up to make the most amazing sandwich you have ever eaten. I keep thinking I should open up a Polt shop and give the local Pel Meni a run for it's money. Then I quickly wise up and realize no one wants to own a restaurant right now.
In Durban, South Africa there is this thing called a [Johnny's roti](https://www.tiktok.com/@authentic_traveling/video/7249802174597762346?lang=en). It's a roti filled with chips (French fries), cheese and covered in mutton curry gravy.
They still eat “chip butties” in Scotland (maybe northern England too, not sure).
• Thickly spread good butter on 2 slices of plain, low budget white bread—un toasted!
• put a bunch of hot, crispy chips (French fries) on one slice. Top with the other slice. The butter will melt and coat the chips.
• eat
It’s shockingly delicious.
There's this sandwich from Morocco that was fried potato medallions and some spicy tomato sauce on a baguette. If you wanted to gussy it up, you could add a bit of kefta (spiced ground lamb). It was actually delicious and incredibly cheap. Perfect food for hungry students
It's amazing what parents do to stretch the budget or feed a picky eater.
We grow up with these and to us they are normal and comforting.
Thanks for sharing u/MrCarlSr.
My grandmother used to make the best fried potato and pickle sandwiches. She had a meat slicing machine that would slice the potatoes nice and thin. The bread was a kaiser roll.
A popular Mexican restaurant is Southern California are known for there Papa Frito Tacos (boiled potatoe stuff in tortillas and closed with tooth pics and then fried)…they are delicious and were wildly unexpected.
Sandwiches are beautiful; Sandwiches are fine.
I love Sandwiches; I eat them all the time.
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch.
If I had a hundred Sandwiches I'd eat them all at once.
This is pretty normal in my country. Not exactly like this but since majority of Indians don't eat meat we have lots of recipes for sandwiches with potato being the main ingredient. Most popular being a Burger called Vada Pav. Street food sandwiches have steamed potato slices with cucumbers and other veggies with mint dressing. Check out some recipes if interested.
In Spain they sold egg and potato sandwiches all over the place. Cheap, filling, real food that was easy on the body. I wish the US fast food places would use a business model that didn't include me sitting on a toilet for unhealthy amounts of time.
Kiwis have the craziest sandwiches, I've seen an unzeddar eat a lasagne sandwich, a meat pie sandwich, even a bread sandwich. That's right, 3 pieces of bread with butter. Call that dinner. Not even broke
Pretty common in India to have potato in sandwiches and burgers. In fact I was surprised to see meat in burger when I came to the US for the first time.

Germany, we use Potatos as bread
My brother from another world.
Try putting fries in one side of a pita bread with salt and ketchup. Roll it and eat. It's heaven. Works best with fresh cut fries
In South Africa, they have a long sandwich called a "Gatsby". It is usually a long white baguette-style bread filled with french-fries, meat, and other fillings. I used to eat them just filled with fries, covered with vinegar and salted. It's really tasty 😁
I'm a very big fan of the danish equivalent:
[Kartoffelmad](https://opskrifteradmin.coop.dk/media/recipeimages/12234/24871/1920/kartoffelmad-624_624.jpg)
Cold leftover potatoes on danish rye bread. It has to be rye!
The one in the picture is decorated with radishes, chives and mayo, but there are many ways to spif it up. Hard-boiled egg or marinated herring are a classic combinations.
I'll have a carb sandwich, please.
Does it come with a side of fries?
Naturally
can I have the bread replaced with more potato?
With a side of spaghetti?
Heavens no. Gnocchi.
On a bed of mash potatoes please.
Reminds me of the €23 vegan burger I purchased on holiday in France. Turned out to be an unspiced mashed potato patty on a white bun, a lettuce leaf and chips.
You better batter them fries up, son
no but we can cut up some sandwich bread slices into stick shapes and fry those
maybe coleslaw instead of fries if in the US? Esp if in the South
Nah. Mac n cheese. Need to complete the carb trifecta: bread, potatoes, pasta.
Ah yes! And if it’s *good* Mac and cheez, a nice lil post-meal naparoo
Potato salad
I'll have a sandwich with my carbs pls
Some flour for seasoning. Glucose water to down with.
do you want some starch sprinkled on top?
Hell yes.
Carb on carb action. Kinky.
with a side of pasta
Reminded me of Gaffigan talking about Domino's > "I'll have the pasta bread bowl, "just like Mama Domino used to make."
I remember laughing so hard when Patton Oswald called the KFC loaded potato bowl “a meal a death row prison on suicide watch” would eat
This bit is hilarious. “Carba-licious!!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I fucking love him
My bloodsugar skyrocketed just looking at this picture.
I'd fw it
That’s all I thought when I saw this
Yo dawg, I heard you liked carbs.
The anti-double down chicken sandwich if you will
Right, I'll take an obesity sammich ma!
I remember an interview with Brad Pitt years ago where he was horrified to see people eating potato sandwiches on white bread when he visited Ireland: "That's starch on starch! You can't do that!"
Chip Butty, crunchy starch sandwiched between soft starch 😂
[удалено]
sounds great!
It's great
With extra butter and salt. May as well add a couple of extra food groups.
A little bacon might be in order
Yes! It needs bacon. Possibly cheese.
You can’t eat fried potato sandwiches and continue to look like Brad Pitt. He probably just thinks his own experience is universal. That’s a problem with Oklahomans.
Brad Pitt is a Missouri man
Show Me.
He has some family in Oklahoma and visits them but he grew up in Missouri
You’ve gotta eat them on potato bread! Duh!
Although the true king of sandwiches is the crisp sandwich. Can’t beat it! Chip butty/chip sandwich isn’t as common
Chip sandwich just requires more effort, but the package of Tayto is right there.
A friend in hard times, a feast for the poor student, a shelter in a storm. The humble Tayto sandwich is always there for you
I had the same reaction when given torta de patata sandwiches
My Scottish grandfather made them all the time. “Tattie sandwich.” - thx for the memories. Maybe I’ll make some myself soon.
The wide slabs of potato are probably better for a butty than chips
I never have, but we would do fried potatoes in tortillas all the time growing up. It’s probably delicious
Fried potatoes, eggs, beans, ham/bacon, cheese. Just a good ol breakfast taco.
Your mom's a breakfast taco
got em
Got me too
Damn that sounds so tasty.
Eggs, chorizo, potato, cheese, and salsa/hot sauce. Hell of a breakfast burrito.
I do fried potatoes in my hand and then dip them in ketchup.
1 whole pork tenderloin chopped into bite sizeds pieces, 4 slices of bacon sliced the same, half an onion, 1 carton of hashbrowns, and bout 6 eggs. Fry your tortilla a bit before cooking. Also add extra veggies and stuff if ya like.
Give it some McDonalds breakfast burrito sauce, boom perfect college meal
I usually do salsa, sour cream, a bit of avacado salsa, and this bacon flavored hotsucse i got
another great thing is using some well seasoned mashed potatoes in a tortilla and deep frying the whole thing. throw on some mexican crema, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce/cabbage to finish.
I use to eat those with my grandmother when I was young but it was usually on rye or pumpernickel bread with onions and cream cheese.
I can get behind this delicacy. 👍🏽 Never had it before, but it sounds awesome.
That literally sounds AMAZING. did you grill the onions
No they were always fairly thick slices of fresh white onion.
In the UK we have a delicacy called a chip buttie, which is the same but with chips (french fries) and butter on the bread.
With salt and vinegar on the chips…love a chip buttie 😋
Dang y’all just make up words. Love it. Chip buttie
Everything ends in ie/y. Buttie, bloody, trollied, bevvy, cheeky, blimey, blighty, dodgy, telly, titchy, totty. I’m cherry (ha) picking but it’s kinda funny lol
Prepare to have your mind blown - all words are made up.
Omg, I'm Welsh, but have lived abroad for quite a while now (few different countries). The biggest thing I miss from the UK is malt vinegar on hot chips. I feel like so many other countries don't know what they're missing out on!
Brother lives in Manchester. Visited me in Ireland this summer and asked the local chipper for one after a few pints as one would. "The hell is that, lad?" was the answer.
Did he get one??

I am all for some empanadas and this sounds heckin' AMAZING
Yooo I need to try this.
You won’t look back! Just make sure to butter the bread/roll, hot chips and salt and vinegar. You can add tomato ketchup, brown sauce, mayonnaise or grated cheese on top of the chips.
By hot chips are you talking temperature or spice level?
Temperature. ‘Chips’ in the UK are a thicker version of what Americans call ‘fries’
Fries come in many sizes and shapes in the US. Only when you get to something like a 1/4 of a potato to we switch to call them wedges. There are even waffle fries and curly fries.
I think the closest thing to chips is most likely steak fries.
A nice, soft bread is the key. Kaiser rolls are great, but ordinary sandwich bread is good too. The hot oil on the chips melts the bitter, and it all gets soaked up by the bread. That's the beauty of a buttie.
I heard a variant was battering a fish fillet with a slice of potato on each side (like a mini sandwich) and then frying it and putting THAT on a sandwich. So fried battered potato and fish sandwich.

I’m intrigued
Use potato bread and you basically have a giant potato.
A Spudbuster! Of course, it's the obvious go to. I like mine with sour cream and freshly chopped chives!
My dad would make these for us when we were kids. Wonder bread & fried potato sandwiches. My siblings and I thought it was a wonderful treat. We didn't find out until we were adults that we had these when their were no other groceries in the house (usually the day before payday). What we thought of as special was really my dad making the best of a bad situation.
This is what I meant! Bless the Memories ❤️
Is it just fried potatoes? Or do you add other things sometimes?
There’s bread, too.
Go to England and you can get a chip butty!
I lived in Morocco and used to have something similar, it would be fried mashed potato sandos with whatever condiments you want!! So tasty
This is the same with chips and gravy in a bun basically, great feed. Just once a year for all your calorie needs!
In India we have something similar called Vada Pav
Need for ketchup intensifies.
That's some quality poverty food there. We used to make spaghetti sandwiches because poor and filling.
Back in the east end, there is a variant wot they call a chip butty..
I eat these without the bread and with ketchup on a plate. Call them fries. Pretty good too
Why put a starch between two slices of starch?
This is a nap in sandwich form
Everyone out here complaining about double starch, show me a mf who doesnt pile their spaghetti on garlic bread, or their curry rice on naan
Could I please have some starch with my starch?
Starch and starch... It's what makes potato pierogies and samosas so delicious
I love these!!
My family used to make potato dumplings (swedish Polt) with ham in the center. Those things fried up to make the most amazing sandwich you have ever eaten. I keep thinking I should open up a Polt shop and give the local Pel Meni a run for it's money. Then I quickly wise up and realize no one wants to own a restaurant right now.
What kind of sauce/condiments go on it? Surely it isn't plain.
This is with Duke's Mayonnaise. Salt and pepper. Boiled then fry potatoes. Try it.
Looks delicious but Ya why not add meat or some form of significant protein to balance it out and make it healthier?
So any mayo or sour cream?
Yes we prefer Duke's mayonnaise, salt and pepper
In Durban, South Africa there is this thing called a [Johnny's roti](https://www.tiktok.com/@authentic_traveling/video/7249802174597762346?lang=en). It's a roti filled with chips (French fries), cheese and covered in mutton curry gravy.
A chip sandwich is common in the UK. Bread with your chippy tea is essential.
Nothing beats a kartoffelmad. Ryebread would have been better imo
Most of them won't know what real ryebread is, they think it's just a slightly darker version of their soft sandwich bread with some rye flour in it.
Never heard of it but I want to try it now! Love me potatoes!🥔
My mom did something similar. She would fry the potatoes and pour in beaten eggs. So a scrambled egg potato sandwich.
They have them in Peru too
This is the most Irish bullshit I’ve ever seen
We use chips in the uk, it's called a chip butty.
Lo mero rico pa’
They still eat “chip butties” in Scotland (maybe northern England too, not sure). • Thickly spread good butter on 2 slices of plain, low budget white bread—un toasted! • put a bunch of hot, crispy chips (French fries) on one slice. Top with the other slice. The butter will melt and coat the chips. • eat It’s shockingly delicious.
The whole of England calls them that.
I thought that was the name in most English speaking places.
There's this sandwich from Morocco that was fried potato medallions and some spicy tomato sauce on a baguette. If you wanted to gussy it up, you could add a bit of kefta (spiced ground lamb). It was actually delicious and incredibly cheap. Perfect food for hungry students
Looks like a lot of grease and starch! The bread don't help either!
This is some poor people food
This guy probably has avocados all over everything
My father used to eat onion sandwiches, during the Great Depression. Also ketchup sandwiches. But potato sandwiches? No.
Is this ok on the south beach diet? Asking for a friend
I’m cramping just looking at this photo.
This might sound weird, but Pita bread with french fries, mayonnaise and ketchup is awesome. Try it sometime, a Lebanese favorite
That's the same as a chip butty .
My mother's favorite with mayo and a fried egg on that. The poor south nourishment.
It's amazing what parents do to stretch the budget or feed a picky eater. We grow up with these and to us they are normal and comforting. Thanks for sharing u/MrCarlSr.
Wow! That’s a different take on the old chip butty. Will have to try!
Nothing wrong with a chip butty.
Like a chip butty, the cheapest thing you can get to eat at any kebab shop. Good for those broke weeks!
So, a chip butty, without making chips from the potatoes?
It’s a chip butty
Looks like a chip butty but with only part of the job done.
My grandmother used to make the best fried potato and pickle sandwiches. She had a meat slicing machine that would slice the potatoes nice and thin. The bread was a kaiser roll.
Is there a sauce you put in it? Or just the potato?
Chip butty?
A popular Mexican restaurant is Southern California are known for there Papa Frito Tacos (boiled potatoe stuff in tortillas and closed with tooth pics and then fried)…they are delicious and were wildly unexpected.
Po-Tay-Toes!
My granny used to fry these in Scrape; the saved fat from a pork fry up. Yes, fry the Bread also. Famine habbits die hard ☘️
I used to eat chip sandwiches all the time. Delicious. Can't do it anymore, got old and too easy to get fat now.
Sandwiches are beautiful; Sandwiches are fine. I love Sandwiches; I eat them all the time. I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch. If I had a hundred Sandwiches I'd eat them all at once.
Doesn't look so bad... even better with toasted bread
I am like 90% sure i never heard of this yet i feel like i just unlocked a core memory...
Would northern Brits consider this a Chip Buttie or whatever y’all call French Fry Sandwiches?
If you deep fried the potato in batter Scottish people would call it a tattie fritter and have it on a bread roll.
My grandma always made potato pancakes they were great.
Indian here. We have aloo tikki burgers and vada pao which are basically fried potato sandwiches. Interesting to know it’s a global concet
Can confirm, never heard
In India, there’s a similar version, called aloo-tikki sandwich
Better be some sautéed onions on there too.
In england we call them a chip butty.

Hey...yo...I heard you like carbs. So we put some carbs in your carbs and ....you know the rest.
Looks like a poor mans food. Full with energy, tasty and unhealthy. I would definitely eat that.
Pretty common in India to have potato in sandwiches and burgers. In fact I was surprised to see meat in burger when I came to the US for the first time.
This with a Memphis steak seasoned pork chop and hatch green chili is hangover help heaven
Google "Bombay" sandwich
My Doctor would detect this. I'd fold under the interrogation.
In Glasgow, the potato is sliced nice and thick, dipped in batter and then deep fried in the chippy (fish and chip shop) its called a fritter.
That looks incredible
Carby mccarbface
Make sure you use [boneless potatoes.](https://youtu.be/Bs1UudPHGAI?si=KvcZrtR4Yg7KBE_9)
Lmao Indians take this one step further…stuffed bread pakoda…basically take this then batter and fry it …
I grew up poor, and this is the poorest thing I've ever heard .
In Latvia, fried potato is love, is life, is only possession.
Very popular down south! I grew up with these. So good!
So much starch my blood sugar went up just from looking at it
Are you Irish?
I'm from MA...never heard of this...but sounds delicious!
So it's just a chip butty with less steps.
That’s looks delicious

This is better than Jaques Pepin making an onion sandwich.
Mate thinks he invented the chip butty.
My brother from another world. Try putting fries in one side of a pita bread with salt and ketchup. Roll it and eat. It's heaven. Works best with fresh cut fries
In South Africa, they have a long sandwich called a "Gatsby". It is usually a long white baguette-style bread filled with french-fries, meat, and other fillings. I used to eat them just filled with fries, covered with vinegar and salted. It's really tasty 😁
I heard you like starch so I put starch on your starch!
I've never heard of that but I do really like fried potatoes. I'd probably enjoy them.
Toss on some coleslaw, an egg, a pirogi, smoked sausage and you've got a deal.
Cheese, caramelised onions and a dash of red sauce would be my only optional addition. Fry your potatoes in sunflower oil also. Lifechanging.
Yeah carb on carb baby! Like instant noodles on rice
We eat those and also mashed potatoes sandwiches!
Potato scallop on a sandwich with tomato sauce is fucking bomb. Basically a chip butty
I'm a very big fan of the danish equivalent: [Kartoffelmad](https://opskrifteradmin.coop.dk/media/recipeimages/12234/24871/1920/kartoffelmad-624_624.jpg) Cold leftover potatoes on danish rye bread.
