To create a potato chip sandwich, a thin layer of overlapping chips is placed on the sandwich so as to augment, but not overpower, the sandwich's main filling. Care must be taken when eating a crisp sandwich as there is a possibility of injuring the gums or roof of the mouth if eaten too vigorously. |

A crisp sandwich (in British English), chip sandwich, or potato chip sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich which includes crisps (potato chips) as one of the fillings. In addition to the potato chips, the other ingredients may be peanut butter, meat, cheese, tuna, ham, bologna, tomato, or any other common sandwich ingredient. While some people consider crisp sandwiches to be a low-end food,[1] there are celebrities who admit to eating them.[2] Some people consider a sandwich without crisps to not be worth the effort.[3] Potato chip sandwiches are sometimes referred to as "white trash cuisine" or "trailer park cuisine".[4]
To create a potato chip sandwich, a thin layer of overlapping chips is placed on the sandwich so as to augment, but not overpower, the sandwich's main filling. Care must be taken when eating a crisp sandwich as there is a possibility of injuring the gums or roof of the mouth if eaten too vigorously.
Another variation of the potato chip sandwich is made entirely of bread, mayonnaise, and potato chips.[4][5] In place of mayonnaise, salad cream can also be used, especially in the United Kingdom.
The potato chip sandwich appeared in the film American Gangster when detective Richie Roberts (played by Russell Crowe) fashioned one for his Thanksgiving dinner.[6]
