Pork Panini & Spiced Fries Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 30 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
25 30 55

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound medium red potatoes
  • PANINI:
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1-1/2 pounds cooked pork, sliced
  • 8 dill pickle slices
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients. Cut potatoes into 1/4-in. sticks. Add to bag, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, stirring once.
  • Meanwhile, cut bread in half widthwise (save one half for another use). Cut bread in half horizontally; cut into fourths widthwise. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, mustard and cumin; spread over bread. Layer each with pork, pickles and cheese. Replace tops.
  • Cook on a panini maker or indoor grill for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with fries. Yield: 4 servings.

I enjoyed this recipe for leftovers but I thought the fries were what made this meal.

My husband loved this and I did as well!!! We had some leftover spread that we used on the panini and also used it as dip for the fries. I think I would use about 1/2 the cayenne pepper it calls for.

This review is for the fries ONLY! They were excellent. I made some with the cayenne pepper and some without (as we have people who enjoy spicy food and those who do not). I was told the spicy fries were excellent and I'm sure they were because the non-spicy ones were very very good.

I will be making these fries again and again and again.

Because I do not have a panini maker I am not going to review the sandwich (even though I made them). We did not care for them at all and I feel that is probably because I was not able to cook them properly. I have added a panini maker to my kitchen gadget wish list and will make the sandwich again when I have the proper tools.

Made this with leftover pork roast. Came out great! Loved the taste of the sauce and pickles with the pork.

We really liked this. I don't have an indoor grill so just made it like I would grilled cheese. I added some leftover ham I had in the freezer as well. Really liked the fries too.

This was excellent!! I made mine on my George Foreman which I hadn't probably used in 5 years and it was perfect. The fries were delicious too!
