PRIMANTI-STYLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, white vinegar, and white sugar in a large bowl; add the cabbage and toss to coat. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer or large deep pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); add the potato slices; cook until crispy and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the capicola in four separate stacks in the skillet and top each stack with 1 slice mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and Swiss cheese; heat until the cheese begins to melt.
• Arrange 4 slices of Italian bread on 4 separate plates. Top each slice with a stack of capicola and melted cheese; about 1 1/2 cups of the cabbage mixture, 1 slice onion, 1 slice tomato, and about 1/4 of the fried potatoes. Top with the remaining bread slices. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.

PRIMANTI BROS. STYLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the cole slaw by mixing the cole slaw, vegetable oil, sugar, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• cook your fries. I use the ore-ide oven chips, those can be cooked like normal in the oven, or microwaved. To get the true primanti's fry texture I microwave these oven chips for about three minutes. It works best with these because they are pre-cooked, and tase well when microwaved.
• assemble your sandwich by putting the meat on the bottom piece of bread.
• put the cheese on the meat.
• put the french fries on.
• put as much cole slaw as you like on.
• place two slices of tomato on top
• place your top piece of bread on.
• cut in the middle, and viola.a Primanti!

PRIMANTI BROS. SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1 For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, sugar, salt and celery seed in a colander set over a medium bowl
• 2 Let stand at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours; the cabbage will be wilted (about 4 cups total)
• 3 Discard the draining liquid in the bowl; rinse and dry the bowl, then transfer the wilted cabbage to the bowl
• 4 Add the oil and vinegar; toss to coat
• 5 Season with pepper to taste
• 6 Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve
• 7 For the twice-fried potatoes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
• 8 Line a few large baking sheets with several layers of paper towels
• 9 Fill a large bowl with cold water
• 10 Cut the (unpeeled) potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks
• 11 Submerge in the cold water
• 12 Rinse in subsequent changes of cold water to remove all visible starch, then drain in a colander and spread the potatoes on the paper towels, patting the potatoes dry
• 13 Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat, until the oil temperature reaches 320 degrees
• 14 Fry the potatoes in 4 batches; each batch will take 2 to 4 minutes
• 15 Stir occasionally as they cook, until the fries are soft and cooked through but still pale
• 16 Allow enough time for the oil to return to 320 degrees between batches; use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the oil
• 17 Use a slotted spatula to transfer the potatoes to the lined baking sheets
• 18 Increase the heat to high (or as needed) so that the temperature of the oil reaches 375 degrees
• 19 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
• 20 Refresh the paper towels on the baking sheets as needed
• 21 Cook the fries a second time, working in 4 batches; each batch will take 2 to 3 miinutes, until the fries are crisp and golden brown
• 22 Transfer to the lined baking sheets
• 23 Immediately season lightly with salt, then place in the oven to keep the fries warm
• 24 For the meat and cheese: Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat
• 25 Have ready a large baking sheet
• 26 Separate the ham slices and add to the skillet, turning them as needed until the slices are warmed through
• 27 Transfer the slices to the baking sheet, creating 8 equal portions
• 28 Top each with a slice of provolone cheese
• 29 Place in the oven (along with the fries) just until the cheese has melted
• 30 For assembly: Place the portions of cheese-topped ham on 8 bread slices
• 31 Top with a large handful of the warm fries, then pile about 1/2 cup of the slaw on each portion
• 32 Garnish with 2 tomato slices for each portion; use the remaining 8 pieces of bread to finish each sandwich
• 33 Serve warm

PRIMANTI'S SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage, vinegar, olive oil, celery seed, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Let the slaw sit and the flavors mingle while you make the fries.
• Cut unpeeled potatoes into sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when the tip of a potato really sizzles on contact. Carefully slide the potatoes into the oil to fry over moderate heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until crisp, golden brown, and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Don't let the fries brown too quickly! (They might remain raw on the inside and burned on the outside if they are cooked too fast.) Drain on paper towels, and season with salt.
• Heat another large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, sear the sliced capicola until crisped on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove skillet from heat, and make two stacks of capicola on a side plate, laying the sliced provolone on top, to get it started melting while you assemble the sandwiches.
• To assemble, lay two slices of bread on your work surface. Top with the capicola and melted cheese. Top with the fries, slaw, and sliced tomatoes.Top with the remaining bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.

PITTSBURGH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the slaw by mixing together the cabbage, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the vinegar, sugar, adobo seasoning, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, and fry until they float and are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Set the fries aside.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Place the bread on a baking sheet, and toast to a light brown in the preheated oven, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove half the bread slices. Place 1/4 of the pastrami on the remaining 4 bread slices, and top with provolone cheese. Return to the oven until the pastrami is hot and the cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
• To assemble, top the melted cheese of each sandwich with French fries, cole slaw, 2 tomato slices, and the top pieces of bread.
