Preparation
- Step 1
Fry the bacon in a heavy cast-iron skillet to desired doneness and drain on paper towels. Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat, add the potatoes and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fry until the potatoes are browned and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and the onions are tender. (Do not turn the potatoes until they are crisp.) Taste for seasoning.
- Step 2
Grill or broil the bread until toasted on one side. Smear the untoasted sides generously with mustard and layer the bacon, potatoes and onions on top of one mustard side. Cover with the remaining bread, mustard side down.

I prefer what my northern English relatives called a 'chip butty'- two slices heavily buttered bread with freshly made 'chips' as a filling---chips as in Fish &, not french fries.Deadly good.
Interestingly, but not necessarily related, I've heard of the chip butty. I read about it in Elizabeth George's latest Inspector Linely novel: "A Banquet of Consequences." Linely's Detective Sargent, Barbara Havers, was overly fond of them, plus other horrifically fat-laden British specialties. Having lived in England for 2 years, I'll never forget the expression on my husband's face when he bit into a Pork Pie. Oh my!
As a Brit (from northern England) now living in Memphis, I feel I must try this, but I'll call it a chip butty (like Robert Chamut suggested. A chip butty with onions. No bacon because I'm vegetarian... it sounds like a nice Sunday breakfast to me.
Chip butty, food of the gods. Chips have to be from a proper fish and chip shop, crusty roll and proper butter. Yummy
It's a fried potato sandwich. And it's delicious.
