Ingredients

  • One 22-ounce package waffle fries, such as Ore-Ida

  • Salt and pepper

  • About ¾ cup sour cream

  • ⅓ cup ketchup

  • About ¼ cup pickle relish, such as Wickles

  • About 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, such as Gold's

  • 1 ½ teaspoons caraway seeds

  • 1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

  • 1 pound sauerkraut, drained

  • ½ cup chicken stock or bone broth

  • 1 pound turkey pastrami or house roast turkey breast, sliced at deli, then chopped

  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese or Swiss and white cheddar combined

  • Chopped dill and chives, to top

  • Mild or hot pickled jalapeno pepper rings, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and bake fries 25 minutes until crisp. Season with salt and pepper, shake pan midway and turn so potatoes crisp evenly.

In a bowl, combine sour cream, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire and horseradish.

In a small pot over medium heat, toast seeds, then add sauerkraut, reduce heat to low and keep warm.

In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, warm stock, add chopped meat and remove to a plate. Wipe pan and return to low heat to keep warm.

When potatoes come out of the oven, turn on broiler to high.

Arrange potatoes in cast-iron skillet and top with meat, sauerkraut and cheeses. Broil to brown and bubble, top with sauce, herbs and jalapeno slices and serve from skillet immediately.
