Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Primanti-Style Sandwiches with Crispy Potatoes and Cabbage Slaw.
Step 1
Start by whisking together the mayonnaise, milk, white vinegar, and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Toss in the shredded cabbage, ensuring it's well coated. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 2
While the slaw is chilling, heat the olive oil in a deep fryer or a large deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add the potato slices in batches, frying them until they are crispy and golden brown, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes. Once done, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 3
Next, place a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the thinly sliced capicola into four separate stacks in the skillet. Top each stack with a slice of mozzarella, provolone, and Swiss cheese. Allow the cheese to melt and become gooey, which will take just a few minutes.
Step 4
Now, it's time to assemble your sandwiches! On four separate plates, lay out the thick slices of Italian bread. Pile each slice high with a stack of the melted capicola and cheese, followed by about 1 1/2 cups of the chilled cabbage slaw. If you like, add a slice of onion and a slice of tomato for extra flavor. Finally, top each sandwich with a generous portion of the crispy fried potatoes and finish with another slice of bread on top.
Step 5
Slice each sandwich in half to reveal the delicious layers inside, and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful crunch of the potatoes and the creamy slaw with every bite!
