- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Arrange frozen french fries on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

- Select high-quality deli corned beef for richer, more authentic flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent soggy fries and maintain the perfect texture contrast.
