Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Kielbasa sausages — Ensure they are fully cooked and nicely charred for the best flavor and texture.
  • Barbecue sauce — Adjust the sweetness and tanginess according to your preference by adding more or less sugar and vinegar.
  • Coleslaw — Shred the cabbage and carrots finely for a better texture and mix them with the dressing just before serving to maintain the crunchiness.
  • Oven-baked french fries — Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even baking, and toss them with a little oil and seasoning before baking for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add some hot sauce or chili flakes to the barbecue sauce.
  • Experiment with different types of sausages, such as smoked or spicy varieties, to customize the flavor.
  • If you prefer a softer bun, lightly toast it instead of grilling it.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings like pickles, onions, or jalapenos for extra flavor and crunch.
  • If you don't have access to a grill, you can also cook the sausages on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven.

Serving advice

Serve the Polish Boy Sandwiches with a side of pickles and extra barbecue sauce for dipping. This sandwich pairs well with a cold beer or a refreshing lemonade.
