Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made, smooth texture)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to your heat tolerance)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Pinch of onion powder

    • Instructions

  • Combine the chopped corned beef, drained and chopped sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and mashed potatoes in a large bowl. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed.
  • In a small separate bowl, beat the eggs and add salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the main mixture and stir until everything holds together but isn’t too wet.
  • Lightly shape the mixture into balls about the size of golf balls.
  • Roll each ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. For a thicker crust, dip the balls back into some beaten egg and then roll again in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Be careful—it can splatter!
  • Fry the Reuben Balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon, and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Let the balls rest for a minute or two before serving—this helps them hold their shape and flavor.
  • While frying, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the hot Reuben Balls with the spicy Thousand Island sauce on the side for dipping.

    • Notes

    Reuben Balls with Spicy Thousand Island Sauce are a bite-sized twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, combining golden, crispy balls packed with corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, served with a creamy, spicy Thousand Island sauce.
