Irish Crisp Sandwich and St. Patrick’s Day Round-Up

The Irish Crisp Sandwich, Crisp Sambo, is perfect for a quick and easy snack this St. Patrick’s Day. All you need are two slices of bread, some Irish butter (I have seen Kerrygold at most supermarkets lately), and potato chips (crisps). Mairéad of Irish American Mom and The Daily Spud both recommend using Tayto Cheese and Onion Crisps. If you can’t find them, look for chips with a bold flavor. I used white sandwich bread, but a crusty white bread like Belfast bap is also popular.
