Rueben Tots

Ruebens are one of my all-time favorite sandwiches; and I love tater tots. So why not combine the two to make the ultimate appetizer. I present to you: the rueben tot. Corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, rye breadcrumbs, and potatoes; mixed together and blinded by a couple of eggs; formed into larger-sized tater tots, and baked until crispy on the outside. It doesn’t get much better than this.
