Start with Cuban rolls.

Spread each roll with a lot of spicy mustard.

Layer slices of dill pickle on the roll.

Add sliced turkey and ham, using high quality meat that's free of artificial preservatives.

Top with Swiss cheese, using two pieces for extra meltiness.

Spread softened butter on the top of the roll.

Add the sandwich to a skillet, butter side down.

Top with a heavy cast iron skillet to press the sandwich.

Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is golden brown.

Cut the sandwich in half and serve with sweet potato chips.
