My thoughts:

I had this sentiment a few months agone but it was only besides hot to bake potatoes. We hold upward had a few cool days then I used that an equally an excuse to brand this riff on the popular, totally no Kosher deli sandwich, the Reuben. Ruebens usually bring corned beef, Russian dressing, sauerkraut, together with rye bread. I ditched the rye staff of life (I did toy with having rye staff of life crumbs but decided against it) but kept pretty much everything else. Instead of the Russian dressing I've made when I've made the sandwich, I tossed inwards the ii ingredients that influence the season the most, pickled together with tomato, together with mixed it with the potatoes together with sour cream. Adding the corned beef was easy. I debated almost mixing the sauerkraut inwards but I left it on overstep together with I intend it was the best choice. It actually did goal upward tasting to a greater extent than similar a Reuben that way; inwards the sandwich, at that topographic point are rattling distinct layers together with you lot gustation each 1 individually then it makes sense!

The goal lawsuit was a triumph, it actually did gustation similar a Rueben, the murphy was perfectly flavored together with creamy together with the toppings nicely browned together with slightly crunchy. I made the corned beef  "fresh" but it would also live a keen means to move upward leftovers.


Note: corned beef tin live tricky to uncovering but Aldi seems to acquit it most of the yr together with most supermarkets volition lodge it for you lot if they don't bring it inwards stock. I personally purchase a bunch when it is super inexpensive close St Patrick's Day together with freeze it. It freezes together with defrosts wonderfully.
