Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel and thinly slice onion. Halve, core and thinly slice green pepper. Trim and slice mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick pieces.
- Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Fry Seasoning (reserve the rest for later), salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper and the remaining Fry Seasoning; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the pan.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper. Slice baguettes lengthwise, stopping before cutting all the way through. Place cut sides up on a second baking sheet. Toast on the middle rack until lightly golden, 3-5 minutes.
- Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes. Season with half the Steak Spice (use all for 4 servings) and salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in stock concentrate and a splash of water. Cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are saucy, 1-2 minutes. Return the cooked vegetables to the pan and stir to combine.
- Keeping baguettes on the sheet, spread the insides with half the Dijon mayo. Fill with the mushroom-vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella. (Tip: For extra sauciness, use all the Dijon mayo on the hoagies.) Return to the oven until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes. Divide hoagies and potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining Dijon mayo on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy mushrooms, avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mushroom mixture.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of mushroom?
Yes, cremini mushrooms work best for their meaty texture, but you can substitute with white button mushrooms or portobello caps.
Can I make these hoagies ahead of time?
The components can be prepared in advance, but for the best texture, assemble and toast the hoagies just before serving.
What can I use instead of demi-baguettes?
You can use regular baguettes cut into sandwich-sized portions or even hoagie rolls or ciabatta rolls.
