ULTIMATE PASTRAMI SANDWICHES

Ultimate Pastrami Sandwiches image

This peerless pastrami sandwich was adapted from a menu favorite at Primanti Bros. Restaurant in Pittsburgh. We took the basic ingredients-grilled cold cuts, cheese, fried potatoes and tomatoes-and created a tasty replica that includes our version of their secret coleslaw topping. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
