Make the Russia Dressing:
Combine the Dressing ingredients. Makes 1/2 cup.
Butter one side of each of 4 bread slices; place the bread buttered-side down on a large piece of wax paper on a flat surface. Top each with 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Divide the corned beef in half, and then equally divide one of the halves of corned beef among them, reserving the other half for a little later.
Drain sauerkraut. Using paper towels, squeeze out excess moisture from the sauerkraut. Divide sauerkraut among the sandwiches, and top each with 1 T. Russian dressing.
Using the reserved half of corned beef, add another layer of corned beef and a second slice of Swiss cheese to each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices, and butter the side facing up.
Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat. Cook the sandwiches on one side until the bread is golden brown. Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches over and finish cooking on the second side.
Cut the sandwiches in half before serving. Serve with a dill pickle and chips.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
