A classic deli New Jersey Italian hot dog, made at home.
I was a boy the first time I ate this sandwich.
Seemed like a decent enough idea.

What’s on a New Jersey Italian Hot Dog?
For starters, it was on a sub roll and was huge.
I took a bite and instantly tasted a hit of deli mustard.
Then the tangy hot dogI love that pop!
I know there are other versions, some with special bread, some with everything insideincluding the hot dogdeep-fried.
I like those Italian hot dogs, too.
(Except for the ones with ketchup.)
It’s a memory I still hold close.
These can be hard to find, though, so use a good sandwich bun.
have a go at avoid using a hot dog bun; those are too small for the Jersey dog.
Use a metal spatula to scrape the potatoes off the bottom of the skillet, flipping them.
Sprinkle salt over the potatoes, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes without touching them.
Remove the potatoes, which should be partially browned, to a bowl and set aside.
Increase the heat to high and add the peppers and onions.
Arrange evenly in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes without touching them.
Sprinkle salt over them, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes untouched.
There should be some browned and even blackened bits here and there.
Grill or fry until they are done to your liking and set aside.
Liberally smear mustard on both sides of the sandwich roll.
