The Diana Fried Bologna Sandwich

steps

1. Prepare the Potato Chip Aïoli: Finely mince cilantro. Open chips and crush them finely (this can be done by hand, with a rolling pin, or in a food processor). In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, cilantro, and potato chips, folding together until incorporated.
2. Prepare sandwich ingredients: Assemble a breading station by placing the flour, egg, and panko into each of three shallow bowls. Dip bologna slice into flour and shake off any excess. Then dip into egg and then into breadcrumbs. Ensure that bologna is fully coated. 
3. In a sauté pan or high-sided pot, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Add bologna and fry until golden brown and delicious. Remove from oil and drain well on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Build the sandwich: Spread aïoli over each slice of bread, making sure to cover them evenly and completely. (In the restaurant, they call this wall to wall.) Place the bologna on one slice of bread and cover with the other. Cut off sandwich crust before slicing into thirds for easy sharing.
