Kota, also known as a South African street sandwich, is a beloved and indulgent fast food dish often found in the townships. It’s made by hollowing out a quarter loaf of bread and stuffing it with layers of fries, meats, cheese, and sauces. It’s customizable, messy, and absolutely satisfying.

1 quarter loaf white bread (unsliced)
1 cup French fries (hot and crispy)
