Traditional New Orleans French Fry Poboy

Prep Time:

5 mins.

Cook Time:

25 mins.

Yield:

4 po-boys

New Orleanians love their poboy sandwiches – locally baked French bread stuffed with any number of cold cuts or fried seafood – but the simple french-fry poboy still reigns as the original comfort food meal. It’s traditionally dressed with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and pickle with the option to be drenched in brown gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 (2-pound) bag French fried potatoes
  • 4 (6-inch) lengths po-boy bread (or 4 pistolettes)
  • 8 tablespoons roast beef gravy, optional
  • 8 tablespoons Blue Plate®️ Mayonnaise
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 8 thin tomato slices
  • Sliced pickle, optional
  • Hot sauce, optional

Directions

  1. Cook French fries according to package directions.
  2. Halve po-boy bread pieces lengthwise and spread each top and bottom piece with one
    tablespoon of mayonnaise.
  3. Place the bottom halves of the bread on a baking sheet and evenly distribute the cooked french fries on them. Top the fries with the roast beef gravy, if desired, shredded lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, pickles and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
  4. Serve immediately.
