Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 250ºF.
Place the potato chips on a large rimmed baking sheet and warm in the oven or bake the waffle fries to package directions.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Add the corned beef and onion, and cook until crispy at the edges and hot through. Add the sauerkraut and sauté until warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.
Heat a saucepot over medium to medium-high heat. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Whisk in the milk; season with salt and pepper and thicken. Melt in the cheeses and stir in the mustard. In a bowl, stir together the sour cream, ketchup and relish; season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the warm chips or waffle fries on a platter. Top with the meat and cheese sauce. Drizzle with Russian dressing and top with lettuce, onions and chopped deli pickles.
