When cutting the skin off of any kind of potato before cooking it, place the peeled potatoe in a pan of water. This will prevent the potato from turning brown while you peel the rest.

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Posted by Trish | Under Lunch, Sandwiches Saturday Mar 29, 2008 Submitted by Foghorn Leghorn
| 2 slices of bread (your choice of type) | Butter or Margarine in a squeeze bottle | |
| 2 slices provolone cheese (from deli is best) | 1 slice Kraft American Singles |
Use a small grill like a George Foreman but off brand works just as well. You can also do it the old fashioned way & use a skillet but the counter top griddle is faster. Spread the “butter” on one side of the bread on both slices & take both slices of the provolone & put the Kraft American slice in the middle of the provolone. Stick the sandwich in the griddle & close the top. When the buttered slice is a little brown take the sandwich out. Eat & enjoy.
