04 -
1 to 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
→ Garnishes and Additions
05 -
2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
06 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil, for frying
07 -
Sea salt, to taste
08 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 -
Smoked paprika, optional
10 -
Sour cream or tangy mustard sauce, for drizzling, optional

Fresh parsley, for garnish, optional
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Rinse the sliced potatoes thoroughly under cold water to eliminate excess starch. Pat dry completely using paper towels.
02 -
Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry potato slices in batches without overcrowding, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side until both sides are golden and crispy. Drain the fried potatoes on paper towels and season lightly with sea salt while still warm.
03 -
Finely chop or shred the cooked corned beef. Drain the sauerkraut well and squeeze out any excess moisture.
04 -
Preheat the oven broiler on high. Arrange a layer of crispy potato slices on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Spread half of the chopped corned beef and sauerkraut evenly over the potatoes, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Layer remaining potatoes, corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese on top.
05 -
Place the prepared dish under the broiler and heat for 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese melts and turns bubbly and golden.
06 -
Top with sliced green onions. Add dollops of sour cream or a drizzle of tangy mustard sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of smoked paprika, if using. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
