Yes, my bologna has a first name, its F-R-I-E-D. For those of you who have enjoyed a fried bologna sandwich, you are probably particular about the way you like yours. There are all kinds of techniques and condiments that people like. Most of us probably like it whatever way our mothers made it. And of course, that will always be the right way. If you've never had this before then you are probably scratching your head wondering why on earth anyone would ever eat bologna, much less fry it.
Well, because it's good.

I prefer to use thin cut bologna, fry it till it's dark and then put it on some white bread with a good plop of mayo and potato chips. There isn't too much you can do to make a bologna sandwich any better. Its beauty is in its simplicity: bologna, white bread.
Fried bologna sandwiches are awesome. If you've never done it before, give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoons butter
8 slices good quality bologna
4 slices bread
Potato Chips
Mayonnaise
Directions:
Make 3 little slices around your bologna, from the middle out. Each slice should be about 1 ½ inch long. This is so that the bologna does not shrink up and it cooks in the middle. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet.
Add the bologna in a single layer so that most of the surface is touching the pan. Cook on medium high heat until browned on both sides, maybe 5 minutes total. As it cooks, the bologna gives off a nice savory smell.
Spread the mayo onto two of the slices of bread. Place the fried bologna on the mayo side, put the potato chips on the sandwich. This was something my mom taught me. The potato chips give the otherwise soft texture of a bologna sandwich a nice, salty crunch. Put the other piece of bread on top of the chips and smoosh down just a little to nestle the chips in there. And there you have it.

A yummy memory of being a kid watching your mom make you lunch. And while fried bologna sandwiches probably aren't going to be on regular rotation in our menu, it’s a nice little trip down memory lane and it is certainly Mangialicious!
