Making a chip butty from scratch
Discussion
Ingredients
Some left over spuds lying around
A bag of Tesco's extra strong bread flour ....rather top notch stuff
2 sachets of their yeast.
salt
sugar
water in the ratio of 5:7... warmer than room temp but not too hot.
And then, boiling the potatoes
rising the dough
the raw ingredients
bread cooked
Potatoes in the deep fat fryer
The finished result, home made bap with home made chips

Looks fantastic - and probably inspiration for my dinner ...
Got to ask - did you butter the breadcake as well ?
Where I grew up - (80's). Local chippy did the best open chip butty - I say open as there were so many chips you had to eat 2/3 of them before you could half close the breadcake to eat as a butty

You mean roll
You both mean Chip Bap.Barm = Barm cake - Manchester side of the Pennines
Bap/Breadcake/Oven Bottom/Scuffler = Gods own County/Yorkshire side of the Pennines
Roll = Southern type of crusty bread - which shatters into razor sharp/gum slicing shards
Order of preference would be:
1. Chip Bap/Breadcake/Oven Bottom/scuffler
2. Chip Barm
3. Chip Roll
I'm always amused by the reference to God's own country trotted out by all Yorkshirerers at every opportunity, as it invariably omits any mention of Goole, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Bradford...
Anyhow, lovely bit of dinner, I'll refine the recipe thus:
1) Buy chips - £1
2) Buy rolls £80p
3) Eat.

Eddie - everywhere has it's good/bad parts - as Leeds born, but grew up living outside Wakefield .... again some good/bad parts of it. But do see the funy side of it (and the Gods own County is tongue in cheek) Anyhow, lovely bit of dinner, I'll refine the recipe thus:

I've now lived in/around London for longer than I ever did up North - but oddly still call it home (even though realistically home is now where my own family are (Greater London))

My best mate is from Morley & I like to wind him up about GOC whenever I can!I'll ignore the deprecating comment about Huddersfield, relatives from down south used to visit, look at all the green fields surrounding us, the blue bell woods, the open views over Castle Hill, herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically... ok went a bit Basil Fawlty there, the dairy herd errrr standing in a field (copyright Ewan from Vicar of Dibley), and say something a bit daft like " where are all the slag heaps?" Of course they were used to that picture book idyllic hamlet known as Gosport. 
Any road up, back on topic, as an amateur bread baker, breadcakes of a variable size there. /Paul Hollywood.
Chips, good effort.
And to put it into accurate Huddersfield lingo, it's plain tea cakes, not bread cakes, that's South Yorkshire speak, in t'West Riding they're plain white tea cakes, from the Scandinavian tekakor. Sithee.
