Welcome Back to Love Your Food: A Quick and Simple Recipe for Cold-Cut Po-Boys

We are back with another quick and super simple recipe for you, this time focusing on cold-cut po-boys. This method is based on a recipe from a restaurant that Chef Caleb is really familiar with down in Houston, Texas, and it's very similar to the kind that you would be able to get at that restaurant. The best part is that it takes no time at all to prepare.

We've got our ingredients ready for this recipe. We'll need some light and fluffy rolls, provolone cheese, a few different kinds of cold cuts, pimentos, and mayonnaise. Chef Caleb prefers the lighter kind of roll, something like a regular bun or a potato roll, but it's up to personal preference. The rolls are popped in the toaster first to get them nice and warm on the outside while keeping the inside fluffy.

To start assembling our po-boy, we'll smear some mayonnaise on the rolls. We're using a mild mayo for this recipe, but feel free to switch it up with something like avocado or hummus if you prefer. Next, we'll add some of the pimentos to give it a bit of flavor and texture. The pimentos are used sparingly in this recipe, just enough to add a pop of color and flavor.

Now that our base is set, let's talk about the toppings. This is where you can get creative with your cold-cut po-boy. We're using a combination of ham and two different kinds of salami: spicy Genoa and mild beef salami. The hot Genoa adds a nice kick to this sandwich, while the mild beef salami provides a bit of sweetness. You can alternate between these two types of salami for added visual interest.

Of course, you can customize your cold-cut po-boy however you like. If you prefer roast beef or another type of meat, go ahead and use it. The same applies to the cheese; something mild like provolone or havarti works well in this recipe. Feel free to mix and match different cheeses for a unique flavor profile.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it's easy to make ahead of time. Simply assemble the sandwich as instructed, place it on a baking sheet or plate, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This way, you can have your po-boy ready to go whenever you need it.

Now that our po-boy is assembled, let's talk about the perfect accompaniment: potato chips! We're using kettle chips here, specifically the sour cream and onion flavor. There's something about the combination of the crispy potato chip and the soft, fluffy po-boy that just works. The tangy flavor of the sour cream and onion complements the richness of the cheese and meat perfectly.
