Said to be a favorite she enjoyed on set while filming alongside Colin Farrell, this sandwich relies on just three ingredients: crisps, bread, and butter. It’s perfect for a quick snack, lunch, or when you’re craving something nostalgic and indulgent.

This sandwich is a masterclass in simplicity.

What Is a Chippy Sandwich?
A chippy sandwich is a British classic, typically made with thick slices of soft bread, a generous layer of crisps (potato chips), and butter. While Margot Robbie’s version uses only three ingredients, the concept allows for playful variations: cheese, ketchup, or other condiments can be added, but the classic version remains irresistibly simple.
Cooking Tips
- Choose your crisps wisely: Classic salted crisps work best, but you can experiment with cheese and onion, vinegar, or barbecue flavors.
- Butter the bread lightly: Just enough to add moisture and prevent the crisps from slipping out, without making the sandwich soggy.
- Use fresh bread: Soft, white bread is ideal for the perfect contrast with crunchy crisps.
- Layer evenly: Spread crisps evenly across the bread for consistent crunch in every bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored crisps?
Yes! Flavored crisps like salt and vinegar, cheese and onion, or smoky barbecue add unique twists to the sandwich.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best eaten immediately to keep the crisps crunchy. If you make it ahead, the crisps may soften from the bread’s moisture.
Can I add extras?
While the classic version is just three ingredients, you can add thin slices of cheese, ham, or a drizzle of ketchup for extra flavor.
Is this sandwich suitable for kids?
Absolutely! It’s fun, simple, and perfect for a quick snack for children or adults alike.
What type of bread works best?
Soft white sandwich bread is ideal, but a soft roll or even thick sliced sandwich bread works well.
How to Store
This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately. If necessary, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours, though the crisps may lose their crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of fresh white bread

How to Make Margot Robbie's Chippy Sandwich

- Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side down if desired. Press lightly to secure the crisps inside.
