I'll set out what I think for clarity!
In UK potato is dominant carbohydrate and will normally be the
only one, if another carb is used (say rice) the potato
disappears. I have never actually seen a chip buttie, although
i'm sure poor people eat them to fill up, at least in the past.

Some people might have chips with lasagne, but thats an
aberation. Appreciation of food is fairly new to the UK and like
the US, food has changed drastically over the last 30 years. It
hasnt reached the bottom of the pile yet, hence Jamie Oliver and
his school dinners campaign.
