Ingredients
- 20 -24 ounces potato waffle-shaped French fries
- 1 lb deli-sliced corned beef, chopped ⓘ
- 1/2 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups) ⓘ
- 1 cup shredded irish farmhouse cheddar cheese

- 1 cup chicken stock ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons evoo extra virgin olive oil ⓘ
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- salt & fresh ground pepper ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons butter ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons flour ⓘ
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Arrange the waffle fries on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions, adding about 10 minutes onto the baking time to make them extra crispy.
- When the fries have about 10 minutes left, place a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the corned beef to the skillet and saute until light golden brown and heated through, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onions and cabbage to the pan, and cook until the onions have softened and cabbage has wilted, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and reserve warm.
- While the veggies are cooking, place a medium pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the flour to the pot and cook for about a minute.
- Whisk the beer into the mixture and cook for about 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol. Whisk the chicken stock into the pan and bring up to a bubble. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the cheese to melt. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- To serve, arrange the crispy waffle fries on a platter, top them with the corned beef and cabbage mixture and douse with a good helping of cheese sauce.
