Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F and wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/4-inch matchstick fries. Toss potatoes with Parmesan, 1 tbsp oil and 3/4 tsp garlic salt (1.5 tsp for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper. Roast in middle of oven, until golden-brown, 25-28 min.
While potatoes roast, cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Cut mozzarella into 1/2-inch rounds, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Halve buns.
Arrange buns, cut-side up, on another baking sheet. Toast in top of oven, until warmed through, 2 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) After toasting, carefully divide half the marinara sauce over the top buns. Divide mozzarella between bottom buns. Return to the top of the oven. Toast, until cheese melts, 3-4 min.
While sandwiches toast, tear leaves off basil stems. When cheese has melted, top with tomato slices and basil leaves.
Microwave remaining marinara sauce until warmed through, 30 sec. Divide cheesy Italian sandwiches and Parmesan fries between plates. Serve heated marinara sauce on the side, for dipping!
