Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Cider Vinegar

1 tsp

Sugar

2 small

Russet Potatoes

Directions:

1

Toss together the cabbage, vinegar, olive oil, celery seed, salt, and sugar in a large bowl

2

Let the slaw sit and the flavors mingle while you make the fries

3

Cut unpeeled potatoes into sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick

4

Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat

5

The oil is ready when the tip of a potato really sizzles on contact

6

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

7

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

8

) Drain on paper towels, and season with salt

9

Heat another large skillet over high heat

10

When the skillet is hot, sear the sliced capicola until crisped on both sides, about 1 minute per side

11

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

12

To assemble, lay two slices of bread on your work surface

13

Top with the capicola and melted cheese

14

Top with the fries, slaw, and sliced tomatoes

15

Top with the remaining bread, cut in half, and serve immediately
