Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine finely chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, well-drained sauerkraut, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, take the chilled mixture and form it into 1 to 1.5-inch balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Prepare your breading station with one bowl of flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the breaded Reuben Balls to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- While the Reuben Balls are frying, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, hot sauce, and paprika in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Notes
For best results, chill the filling well and avoid overcrowding the frying pot to ensure crispy texture.
