Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine finely chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, well-drained sauerkraut, and softened cream cheese. Add in ¼ cup of breadcrumbs and one beaten egg, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are well-blended.
- Scoop a portion of the filling mixture and roll it into 1 to 1.5-inch balls, placing on a tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Set up your breading station with flour, beaten egg, and remaining breadcrumbs. Roll each chilled ball first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F, adding coated balls in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, hot sauce, and smoked paprika for the dipping sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve the Reuben Balls hot alongside the Thousand Island dipping sauce.
