How to Make Charlie's Italian Sausage Sandwich
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake 1 lb Italian sausage links for 30 minutes, turning once.
- Let sausages cool slightly, then slice each in half lengthwise. Set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (95°C).
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 medium green bell pepper (sliced) and 1 medium onion (sliced) with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until peppers and onions are softened.
- Keep warm. Drain well in a colander just before assembling the sandwiches.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick fries, until golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove potatoes from oil, drain on paper towels, and immediately season generously with salt.
- Place fried potatoes on a baking sheet and keep warm in the 200°F (95°C) oven.
- Optionally, shallow fry sausage links for 1 minute to crisp up the outside. Drain on paper towels.
- If using homemade pizza dough (Recipe #265466 recommended), bake two round loaves following the recipe's instructions. This will yield 4 sandwiches.
- Slice each bread loaf in half horizontally, creating pockets.
- Spread a generous layer of your favorite mustard on the inside of each bread half.
- Place the sausage halves equally among the sandwiches, skin-side up, tucking them down into the bread.
- Use a fork to place some of the peppers and onions onto the sausages.
- Top with a generous portion of the fried potatoes.
- Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or foil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
