Tips for Making Fried Bologna Sandwich

• Slit the edges before frying. It stops the slice from doming, so it lies flat in the pan and browns evenly.
• Fry until properly browned. Pale bologna tastes the way it does cold, and the browning is what makes it good.
• Choose thick slices. Thin slices shrink and dry out into leathery discs.

What to Serve with Fried Bologna Sandwich

• Potato chips
• Dill pickles
• A glass of cold milk

Storing & Reheating Fried Bologna Sandwich

Best eaten straight from the pan. Uncooked bologna keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days after opening. Cooked slices go rubbery on reheating, so fry only what you will eat.
