I meant to go to the grocery store today. But then there was this major snow storm that delayed my commute home by two hours. So, yeah, I made this slightly strange but delicious sandwich by cobbling together some refrigerator randoms.
swiss cheese
radicchio
honey mustard
grilled ciabatta bread
And! Sweet potato fries. They provide maximum comfort. For a non-soggy result, use a large, heavy pot and a lot of vegetable oil. I don't have a thermometer (though I always wish for one while taking no action to obtain one), so I make sure the oil is hot with this kind of dangerous method taught to me by my señora, aka, the wonderful, generous woman who housed me for a year in her home in Sevilla, Spain. Method: heat the oil for a few minutes then sprinkle a very little amount of water into the oil. If it pops right away, it's hot. Once hot, I keep my burner just under high (8/9 in my gas stove). Also important: fry in batches. Don't throw a whole potato in at once. I did four batches for one largish sweet potato. When the fries float and turn a lighter orange color, they are done. Scoop them out of the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on some paper towels, and sprinkle with salt and a little sugar.
