Ingredients
- 800 g unsliced rectangular white loaf
- 600 g peeled potatoes
- 200 g sliced polony, a fully cooked South African sausage
- 4 medium eggs
- 80 g sliced cheddar
- 80 g ready-to-eat mango atchar
- 40 g mayonnaise
- 40 g ketchup
- 10 ml neutral vegetable oil for the pan
- 5 g salt
- 700 ml neutral vegetable oil for frying chips, only partly absorbed
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into roughly 1 cm chips, briefly rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly. Heat frying oil to 155°C in a deep pan filled no more than halfway. Cook chips in two batches for about 7 minutes each without browning heavily. Lift out and rest on a rack for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut bread crosswise into four thick pieces. Cut a broad opening in the top and remove some crumb, leaving the base and sides intact. Reserve crumb as a lid or accompaniment. Mix mayonnaise and ketchup.
- Raise frying oil to 175°C. Finish chips in two batches for about 3 minutes each, drain and salt. They should be cooked and golden outside, but need not be dry and very crisp for this takeaway style.
- Briefly brown polony on both sides in a large pan with 5 ml oil and heat thoroughly. Fry four eggs in remaining 5 ml oil, covering briefly if needed until whites and yolks set. Use clean utensils.
- Spread sauce inside bread. Divide atchar, chips, polony, cheddar and egg among the portions. Finish with some reserved crumb and serve remaining crumb alongside. Eat warm immediately.
Tips
- Atchar is a spiced vegetable or fruit pickle, mango in this case. Check the heat of the bought product.
- Polony is not salami. A plain fine-textured cooked sausage is an explicitly identified shopping substitute; flavour and nutrition will differ.
