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.
Step 2
Spread the fries in a single layer and bake until golden and crisp, about 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 3
While fries bake, slice tomato into thin rounds. Butter one side of each bread slice.
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.
Step 5
Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula.
Step 6
Remove sandwiches from skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with the fries and extra salt if desired.
