Experience Pittsburgh's iconic Primanti Brothers sandwich: coleslaw, fries, cheese, and capicola (or veggie option) on thick Italian bread for a taste of the Steel City, with endless meat choices.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 cups olive oil
  • 4 potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 0.25 pound thinly sliced capicola
  • 4 (1 ounce) slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 (1 ounce) slices provolone cheese
  • 4 (1 ounce) slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 thick slices Italian bread
  • 4 thin slices onion
  • 4 thin slices tomato
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, white vinegar, and white sugar, then add cabbage and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Preheat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C. Deep-fry potato slices until crispy and golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Stack the capicola slices in the skillet and top each stack with 1 slice each of mozzarella, provolone, and Swiss cheese. Heat until the cheese begins to melt.
  • Place 4 slices of Italian bread on individual plates. Layer capicola and melted cheese on each slice, followed by 1 1/2 cups of cabbage mixture, 1 slice of onion, 1 slice of tomato, and 1/4 of the fried potatoes. Complete each sandwich with another bread slice on top, then cut in half before serving.
