Toasted Corned Beef Reuben Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Start by preparing the hand-cut fries. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips. Rinse the strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a towel.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the potato strips in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

3. 3

   Assemble the Reuben

   While the fries are cooking, assemble the Reuben sandwich. Lay out two slices of rye bread and layer each with a generous portion of corned beef, followed by sauerkraut and a layer of Emmental cheese.

4. 4

   Grill the Sandwich

   Top with the remaining slices of rye bread. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the sandwiches are ready, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Cut in half and serve alongside the crispy hand-cut fries.
