Twice Baked Reuben Potatoes

 I told you last week that I was on a twice baked potato kick.  I shared my "twice the fiesta potatoes" with you and now here is another variation: Reuben potatoes.   I threw Swiss cheese, corned beef and sauerkraut into the potato mixture and then topped it with a brown mustard sour cream and homemade brown bread croutons.  If you like Reuben sandwiches, you are going to love these potatoes.
Twice Baked Reuben Potatoes:
6 baking potatoes
4 ounces Neufchatel style cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
1/3 pound deli corned beef, cubed
6 ounce brick Swiss cheese, divided
1/2 cup sauerkraut
2-3 slices brown bread, cubed and sauted in butter until crunchy
2 Tbsp brown mustard
3 Tbsp sour cream
Bake the potatoes until done.  Cool until you are able to handle them without burning yourself.  Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.  Put the flesh in to a medium sized mixing bowl.  Add the cream cheese and butter, mixing until smooth.  Stir in the corned beef, sauerkraut and 4 ounces of grated Swiss cheese.  Spoon back into the potato skins.  Cut the remaining Swiss cheese into slices and stick a slice into each potato.  Bake in a 400 degree oven until cheese is melted.  Remove from oven.  Combine sour cream and mustard in a small bowl.  Dollup a bit on each potato and sprinkle brown bread on top.  Garnish with parsley if desired.

Oh wow, these sound SO good! What a fantastic idea! I love Reuben sandwiches, although it's hard to make them in England because corned beef is very different and you can't get turkey pastrami, but I do try. I've been enjoying them at every opportunity while I'm here in California! I'm definitely going to try to make these wonderful potatoes when I get home though!

Another very creative recipe! I would have never thought to combine all these ingredients into a twice baked potato, but have the say that it sounds incredible!

It makes me so happy to see more potato recipes! I love me some spuds and I'm super intrigued by your creative twists on the boring ol' baked potato!

Good one - I should be able to do this without the beef, right? I am sure this will be a hit in my home of tater lovers ;)

Oh my what are you doing to me? I LOVE twice baked potatoes but I try to only make them for special occasions. I might have to bend the rules for this one!

What a great twist on a tried-and-true! I too love twice-baked potatoes (actually anything potato and cheese.) I just made a reuben casserole, a definite man-pleaseer around here. I'm betting these spuds would do it, too. Great idea.

You have no idea how much I love (and I mean LOVE) reubens, so I just adore the idea of doing them on potatoes. My husband would love this too!

I do like Rueben sandwiches. No doubt I would enjoy these twice-baked Rueben potatoes too. The flavors go together naturally.

That is a whole new take on baked potatos. My husband loves rubens. I bet he would like these - a whole lot!

Christy said...

are you kidding me? this is genius...as luck would have it, i have left over corned beef in the fridge..don't you know i am going to give this a try. thank you for sharing with tuesday night supper club.

The Mom Chef said...

I love, love, love reubens. You know, I bet if you made croutons with rye bread and sprinkled those on top it would just add even more to-die-for flavor. I'm all over them.

Brittany said...

What a brilliant idea!!!

Hoping you might come share this recipe at a weekly event I host titled Seasonal Sundays (As its quite theme fitting!) (http://realsustenance.com/)

Happy Sunday!
