Fries

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat your oven or fryer to the temperature specified on the package of the frozen French fries. Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet if using the oven, or place them in the fryer basket.

  2. 2

    Fry or Bake

    Cook the fries according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes in the oven or 5-7 minutes in a fryer.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 3

    Heat the Pastrami

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced pastrami and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Mix the Coleslaw

    In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with half of the Russian dressing. Toss until well coated.

Assemble the Capastrami Fries

  1. 5

    Layer the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven or fryer and place them on a serving platter or individual plates.

  2. 6

    Add Pastrami and Cheese

    Top the fries generously with the heated pastrami and sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.

  3. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled fries under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching closely to avoid burning.

  4. 8

    Finish with Coleslaw and Dressing

    Remove from the oven and top with the coleslaw mixture. Drizzle the remaining Russian dressing over the top. Serve immediately while hot!
