Variations on a Tuna Hero

There is a delicious hot sandwich recipe that Matt and I enjoy.  I'll give the original recipe and then share the variation we enjoyed last night because we were missing a few ingredients.

Hot Tuna Hero
2 cans of tuna, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup mayo
4 slices Swiss cheese, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, (but we always use dried parsley)
butter
4 Hoagie buns or 6 brat buns

Combine the first six ingredients.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread butter on cut sides of buns.  Spoon tuna mixture into buns.
Wrap each sandwich in heavy-duty foil - seal tightly.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

The oven heated hoagie makes a delicious sandwich with a slightly crusted top and soft middle.

Now last night, we didn't have any celery so opted for finely chopped sweet onion which was really nice!

Another variation Matt likes is to either spread or sprinkle some garlic salt with the butter in the buns.

Last night we also made a side of baked potato fries to go with the sandwich.  These are really easy and have several variations depending on the household. 

Baked Potato Fries
Slice 3-4 medium potatoes to your choosing, either in half and then cut wedges, or in medallions.
Be sure to dry cut fries with paper towel before tossing into a medium bowl.  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil - toss to coat.  Sprinkle potatoes with seasoning of your choice.  We have a spicy, salty mix we use.  Sometimes we'll use Italian seasoning with garlic powder.  Season Salt is always a good choice too - whatever you like.  Toss to coat.
Lay onto baking sheet in single layer and bake at 350.  Turn once after 15 min. and then turn up to 400 degrees for another 15 min.
