Ingredients

Scale
  • Hot dogs or sausages (beef, pork, or chicken)
  • Mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese)
  • Frozen diced potatoes (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (whole or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • Vegetable oil (canola or sunflower) for frying
  • Wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Cut each hot dog in half. Cut mozzarella sticks to match the size of the hot dogs. Insert a mozzarella piece into each hot dog half, pressing gently to combine. Insert wooden skewers lengthwise through the hot dog and cheese, leaving enough handle to hold.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together. Add milk and egg, mixing until smooth but thick enough to coat the dogs well. Adjust thickness with milk or flour as needed.
  3. Spread frozen diced potatoes on a plate. Dip each stuffed hot dog into the batter, ensuring full coating. Immediately roll the battered dog in the frozen potato cubes, pressing gently to adhere evenly.
  4. Heat 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor temperature.
  5. Carefully lower coated corn dogs into hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove corn dogs with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady between 350°F and 375°F to avoid greasy or burnt corn dogs. Use frozen potato cubes for best adhesion and crunch. Press potato cubes firmly onto batter. Fresh potatoes must be parboiled and dried before use. For a lighter version, air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
