REUBEN-STYLE IRISH NACHOS

These Reuben-Style Irish Nachos are perfect for St. Patrick's Day: crispy waffle fries topped with corned beef, sauerkraut, lots of cheese and drizzled with Thousand Island!

I cooked a corned beef from scratch, but you could easily use corned beef from the deli. For the sauerkraut, make sure you get as much moisture out as possible. I wring it out in a clean kitchen towel. Swiss is the traditional cheese in a reuben, but it's not always as melty as you want nachos to be, so I mixed half swiss (for flavor) with half white cheddar (for meltiness) and it was just perfect.

INGREDIENTS

• 22 oz package frozen waffle fries
• 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
• 1 cup roughly chopped corned beef
• ½ cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
• Thousand Island dressing, for drizzling
• Chopped chives, for garnish
