Method

Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of marbled bread.

  2. 2

    Layer the pastrami evenly on top of the dressing on two slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Add the sauerkraut on top of the pastrami, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese.

  4. 4

    Top with the other two slices of bread, dressing side down.

  5. 5

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Fries

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 8

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat.

  3. 9

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato strips in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  4. 10

    Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 11

    Remove the fries from the oil, draining them on paper towels.

  6. 12

    Sprinkle with salt to taste while they are still hot.
