Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread frozen waffle fries on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway.
  2. Once crispy, remove fries and cool for a couple of minutes. Arrange fries in a single layer on a large platter.
  3. Evenly distribute corned beef over the fries, then add sauerkraut on top.
  4. Sprinkle shredded Emmental Swiss cheese generously over the toppings.
  5. Place under the broiler for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
