Steps:

• Generously butter the bread slices and arrange on your bench so that each sandwich has one slice white and one slice brown bread.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the white buttered bread making sure to get right to the edges of the slice so that the ends don't get dry.
• Place a slice of cheese over the mayonnaise.
• Spread ketchup thinly over the brown slice, again making sure you go to the edges and then cover with a slice of ham.
• Place the two pieces together, then press gently down on a cutting board and slice diagonally twice so that you have 4 triangular pieces.
• Continue with the other slices until you have 32 pieces which you arrange points facing up on a platter.
• Cover with cling film and chill for 2-3 hours before needed.
• Decorate the platter with chips scattered over if you like.
