Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of butter, ensuring even coverage.
On the non-buttered side of 4 slices, spread about 2 tablespoons of Russian dressing evenly.
Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese evenly on top of the Russian dressing.
Add a generous layer of sliced corned beef over the cheese, evenly distributing 1 pound across the 4 sandwiches.
Top the corned beef with an even layer of sauerkraut, approximately 1/4 cup per sandwich.
Place the remaining slices of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut.
Complete the sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side facing outwards.
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure an even toasting.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve hot. Enjoy with a side of pickles or coleslaw if desired.
