Ingredients

1 big potato, cut into thin chips
2 tsp olive oil
½ tsp Cajun seasoning
1 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp chopped chive
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3 slices white or brown bread, lightly toasted
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1 baby or ½ avocado, sliced
2 slices salt beef
Couple of Little Gem lettuce leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan or gas mark 6). Place the potato chips on a non-stick baking tray, toss with olive oil and Cajun seasoning, then spread them out in a single layer.
Step 2: Bake the chips in the oven for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Season with salt to taste.
Step 3: While the chips bake, mix the mayonnaise, chopped chive, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season the sauce to taste.
Step 4: Spread the mayonnaise mixture onto two of the toasted bread slices. On one spread slice, layer the radishes and avocado slices.
Step 5: Place the second mayonnaise-spread slice on top, spread-side up. Add the salt beef and Little Gem lettuce leaves on top of this slice.
Step 6: Top the stack with the final slice of bread. Cut the sandwich into portions and secure with cocktail sticks if desired.
Step 7: Serve the assembled salt beef club alongside the crispy Cajun fries.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cucumber or pickles to the sandwich layers.
Swap salt beef for corned beef or pastrami if preferred.
Use sweet potato fries instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor twist.
If you like a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture.

Storage

Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best crispness. The sandwich is best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Avoid storing with avocado to prevent browning.

How to Serve

The image shows three sandwich quarters arranged on a carved wooden board, each sandwich layered with crusty white bread on top and bottom.

Next to the sandwiches, a white bowl holds crispy golden-brown fries. A knife with a wooden handle rests on the board beside the sandwiches, all set on a white marbled surface with a single radish slice and lettuce leaf scattered nearby.

FAQs

Can I make the Cajun seasoning at home?

Yes, a simple Cajun seasoning can be made using paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper mixed together. Adjust the heat level to your preference.

What bread works best for the club sandwich?

White or brown sandwich bread lightly toasted works well to add structure and prevent sogginess. You could also try sourdough or a sturdy wholegrain bread for extra flavor and texture.
