Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes and cut into thin sticks. Toss with 2 tbsp oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the fries in a single layer and bake until golden and crisp, about 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway.

  3. Step 3

    While fries bake, slice tomato into thin rounds. Butter one side of each bread slice.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 slices buttered side down, top with cheese and tomato, then cover with remaining bread, buttered side up.

  5. Step 5

    Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula.

  6. Step 6

    Remove sandwiches from skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with the fries and extra salt if desired.
