Crispy Potato Dogs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Potato Dogs.

1. Step 1

   Start by creating a delicious dipping sauce that will elevate your crispy potato dogs.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, sambal chili paste, sweet relish, and ketchup until everything is well blended.

3. Step 3

   Once combined, pop it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest of the dish.

4. Step 4

   Next, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

5. Step 5

   Grab your Idaho® Russet Potatoes and, using a fork, poke several holes in each one.

6. Step 6

   This step is crucial as it allows steam to escape while baking.

7. Step 7

   Give the potatoes a gentle rub with olive oil and sprinkle them generously with salt.

8. Step 8

   Arrange them on a baking sheet and let them bake for about an hour, or until they’re tender and ready to be transformed.

9. Step 9

   When the potatoes are done, carefully peel them and pass them through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl.

10. Step 10

    This will give your filling a wonderfully fluffy texture.

11. Step 11

    Now, add in some chopped scallions, grated Parmesan cheese, an egg, and breadcrumbs.

12. Step 12

    Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

13. Step 13

    Gradually stir in sour cream until the mixture is smooth yet firm enough to hold its shape.

14. Step 14

    Now it’s time to wrap those hot dogs! Insert a popsicle stick into each hot dog, pushing it about three-quarters of the way through.

15. Step 15

    Take about a quarter cup of your potato mixture, flatten it in your palm, and wrap it around the hot dog, making sure it’s tightly sealed.

16. Step 16

    Repeat this process with the remaining hot dogs and potato mixture.

17. Step 17

    In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

18. Step 18

    Carefully fry the potato-wrapped hot dogs in batches, turning them occasionally until they’re golden brown and crispy all over.

19. Step 19

    Once they’re perfectly fried, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels, sprinkling a pinch of salt on top for that extra flavor.

20. Step 20

    Finally, serve your crispy potato dogs with the prepared sauce either on the side or drizzled on top for a delightful finish.
