No need to go to Omaha, the home of the Reuben sandwich in Nebraska, when you can make this flavour filled Reuben baked potato version at home. Served with a good helping of sauerkraut and dill pickles.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 medium baking potatoes, thoroughly washed (leave skins on)
  • 1/2 cup sauerkraut
  • 150g salt beef/pastrami
  • 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, such as emmental or Gruyere, shredded
  • 4 dill pickles, thinly sliced
  • pinch caraway seeds, to garnish (optional)

Russian sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons egg mayonnaise
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sour cream 
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 4 small gherkins, finely chopped
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Prick the potatoes with a fork, place them into a large pot of water and bring up the boiling point (approx. 25-30 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes).
  3. Place the part cooked potatoes on a baking tray, drizzle over a good amount of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 40 mins until they are golden brown, the skins are crispy, and a fork easy easily the flesh.
  4. Slice a wedge out of the potato along the length; layer the salted beef in the base of the wedge along with a good spoonful of cheese and a dollop of sauce. Place the tray back in the oven to melt the cheese; take out once the cheese is melted and spilling over the edges (10-15 minutes).
  5. Serve with a spoonful of sauerkraut, another dollop of sauce, the sliced pickles and sprinkle over the remaining cheese and the caraway seeds.
