Chiprolls: The Best Sandwich Ever!

The few times before when I have made these rolls, I have not been able to catch a good and worthy shot so you can truly see the deliciousness of what we are eating. Today, though, I am excited to have a picture to show you. Feast your eyes on the BEST sandwich that we have ever eaten! That is the reason it is getting 5 stars in our book!

This recipe is slightly different. The story behind it I will save for the other blog. I give Vibhaben and Bhavnesh full credit for this creation. Of course, I will accept credit for the Tomato sauce, which Bhavnesh says added a nice kick to an already delicious sandwich. The tomato sauce is nothing more than the red sauce I used for the pizza last night. So, if you make it, make extra because it will go with everything! Here is how we made the Chiprolls ...

For chips, you will need:
6 potatoes, peeled and chopped lengthwise
Oil for deep frying
3 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste
All purpose flour for coating
1 tbsp corn starch mixed with 4 tbsp water

For rolls, you will need:
2 wheat submarine rolls or 4 wheat bread slices
1 tomato, sliced thinly
1 onion, sliced thinly
Cheese, grated or sliced thinly
Ketchup for garnish
Mustard for garnish
Butter (optional)

1. Peel and wash the potatoes. Then, slice them like french fries, either by hand or using potato slicer. Keep aside.
2. Mix the corn starch with water. Keep aside. Also, have the all purpose flour ready on a plate to spinkle on potatoes.
3. Heat oil in pot. While the oil is gettin hot, mix the first batch of potatoes with a little bit of the corn starch water. You want to evenly coat the potatoes. Lay out the wet potatoes on a separate plate.
4. Using a strainer or by hand, lightly sprinkle the all purpose flour on to the potatoes.
5. Once the oil is ready, CAREFULLY drop the potatoes one by one into the oil and let the chips deep fry on medium heat.
6. Check on the chips a few times. When potatoes are turning a nice golden brown or red (depending on how you prefer your fries), take the chips out onto a plate with a paper towel. Let the oil drain out while you repeat steps 3-6 for second batch.
7. Once all the chips are ready, it is time to spice it up. Make sure all the oil is properly drained out. Then, sprinkle the red chili powder, salt and vinegar and mix the chips together.

Normally, chips are deep fried twice and the reason it is soo unhealthy, but soo good! Since we coated the potatoes with flour and starchy water, the chips turned out crispier and there was no need to fry the second time. We actually preferred this method better.

When it's time to eat, assemble your sandwich however you prefer using the above ingredients. This is how we assembled: Toast your bread. On one slice/side, spread your tomato sauce. On other side, layout the tomatoes, onions, cheese and top off with the spicy chips. Garnish with ketchup and mustard and close it up.Try it out for yourself and let us know if your chiproll turned out to be THE best sandwich EVER!
