Ingredients

For the Yazik Ruben Sandwich

For the Moscow Fries

Preparation

For the Yazik Ruben Sandwich

1. Prepare the Beef Tongue

Cook the beef tongue in boiling water for 2-3 hours until tender. Let it cool, then peel the outer skin and slice thinly.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

On a slice of rye bread, layer shaved beef tongue, a slice of provolone cheese, a generous amount of Russian sauerkraut, and drizzle with Russian dressing. Top with another slice of rye bread.

3. Grill the Sandwich

Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich and grill on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

For the Moscow Fries

4. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and cut the potatoes into thin fries. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

5. Fry the Potatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
