Big Kickbutt Sandwich

That's Ben who got to help make this big kickbutt sandwich today for dinner. I'm not sure where we first got this idea but it has been a family favourite for years. We call it simply, Big Sandwich. It's exactly as it sounds, a large sandwich, enough to feed the entire family. We serve it family style with chips or fries. Our favourite is a nice club type with bacon, chicken, ham, lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayo or mustard. We have tried several different types of bread but the biggest thing to remember is it can't have too hard of a crust because of the young kids. Also, you want a rather thin bread or it gets too big to fit in your mouth. We tried it today with the bread I made yesterday (I made a double batch). This bread was too thick so next time I will flatten it out a bit.

Hubby got me a french fry cutter years ago which makes it really easy to make them. He also got me a 'large' deep fryer but I find it just takes too much oil and it's a bit of a pain with the lid. I much prefer my wok and a scoop type strainer, to put them in and take them out of the oil. I heat the oil on med/high (about 300) and cook until a nice golden brown. You do need to salt them as soon as they come out of the oil. Made with organic red potatoes (or Yukon gold) and they are heavenly. I have a friend that double fries them but I just don't have the patience for that.
