Step-by-step instructions
- Start by spreading the mayonnaise or butter evenly on both slices of bread.
- Lay the olive loaf on one slice, folding the slices slightly for added texture.
- Add a handful of potato chips on top of the olive loaf. Press them down gently to keep them secure.
- If you’d like, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the chips.
- Close the sandwich, or serve it open-faced to enhance the crunch factor.
- Enjoy it fresh so that the chips remain crisp and delightful.
Best ways to enjoy it
Serve your Olive Loaf with Potato Chips Sandwich with a simple side salad or some fresh cut veggies for a nutritious balance. Alternatively, pair it with pickles or olives on the side to boost those flavors even more. Consider serving it with a comforting bowl of soup for a cozy meal on a chilly day.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you have any leftovers (though I doubt it!), you can keep the sandwich components separate in an airtight container. The bread will stay best when stored separately, as the moisture from the olive loaf and chips can make it soggy. Enjoy your sandwich fresh, but if you find yourself with extra slices of olive loaf, they can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.
Tricks for success
- Toasting the bread lightly can add an extra layer of crunch.
- For an elevated flavor, try infusing your mayonnaise with garlic or herbs.
- Experiment with different chip flavors to surprise your taste buds.
Creative twists
Feel free to switch things up by adding layers of fresh greens like arugula or spinach for added vitamins. You might also consider layering on some sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for freshness. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using flavored potato chips, such as sour cream and onion – the possibilities are endless!
