Disneyland’s Reuben Potato Tots, topped with Russian Dressing, Rye Toast Crumbles and Fresh Chopped Chives, are among our favorite specialty snacks at the theme park.
We enjoyed them during one of many outings to the Festival of Holidays, a fun culinary event held annually at Disneyland’s California Adventure park. Held each winter, the event is reminiscent of a European Christmas Market, complete with little food stands serving up all kinds of delicious treats.
It’s fun to see how creative the chefs get with each of the food carts, which are usually set to different culinary themes, complete with signature cocktails, beers and wines to accompany the dish.
Luckily we were able to get the recipe to share with you. In order to save time, you can use prepared Russian Dressing from your supermarket. If you want to try something a little different, check out my Reuben Sandwich recipe!
