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.

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.
