I shouldn’t be left unattended in the kitchen.
One thing that struck me about finding the French fry coated hot dog on a stick in South Korea was that they were doing it wrong, the sort of cultural misunderstanding that happens when one culture cooks the food of an unrelated and unattached culture and then impales said food on a wooden stick.
Firstly, the hot dog on a stick wasn’t coated in real American fries but chunks of potato and secondly, the hot dog batter was wheat flour rather than a more American corn dog batter. If Americans had have first cooked this one handed food, it would probably be a very different but equally deadly beast. So I set about cooking myself an American-style French fry coated hotdog. We recommend more here xnxx !
I cooked the French fries from scratch which is entirely un-American: feel free to use the frozen variety.
Ingredients:
One hotdog
One large russet burbank potato
Plenty of oil for deep frying
For the batter:
100gms of plain flour
75gms of cornmeal
1 egg
2 teaspoons of sugar
half a cup of milk
Method:
Find yourself a russet burbank potato, about the length of a hotdog.
Peel the potato then slice into french fries in a mandolin slicer (or do it by hand). Set aside.
Mix together the dry batter ingredients, add the egg and the milk. Mix to a thick paste, adding more milk if it is too dry: you’re aiming at the batter being thick and sticky rather than runny like a real corn dog batter, slightly more viscous than a dough. Set aside.
Fry the french fries in oil until golden. Remove from the oil onto a paper towel.
Coat the hotdog in the batter, then glue the french fries to the dog as best you can. Drop this monstrosity back into the boiling oil and fry until the french fries begin to brown.
Le Pogo et frites
Remove from the oil and poke a stick into it. Call your cardiologist to make preliminary enquiries about heart surgery. Enjoy.
And then with the leftovers, I cooked French fry coated bacon.

French Fry coated hot dog on a stick isn’t the right way to do things, not at all. But here’s the recipe: http://tinyurl.com/55eyat
You did it wrong. After you cook the fries cut them up into smaller pieces then put them in the batter. then coat hot dog and fry.
hell yeah. thanks @rudyx760 http://tinyurl.com/55eyat
“Call your cardiologist to make preliminary enquiries about heart surgery.”
Hmmm… sounds like you’re doing something wrong. VERY wrong.
Either that, or you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’ll agree with frying the potatoes for a second time, but when I fry french fries, I found that I use on average 11 grams of oil on 600 grams of shoestrings. Also, I use vegetable oil which doesn’t contain any cholesterol.
But hey, it’s your kitchen “narrative”.
I think smaller fires, or perhaps thickly shredded potatoes would work better, in terms of cooking and texture.
@Mike, while we’re criticising accuracies, your closing comment refers:
“I think smaller fires, or perhaps thickly shredded potatoes would work better, in terms of cooking and texture.”
I think smaller fires always work better in the kitchen.
I agree, smaller fires are much safer in the kitchen.
Also, the processed meat in the hot dog is much more of a concern to cardiologists than just the deepfrying – http://www.ajcn.org/content/72/4/912.full

[…] The next step beyond a corndog would naturally be to include the entire meal on a stick. This French Fry-coated Hot Dog wraps a wiener in potatoes after it is coated with a batter that glues everything together. It was found in Seoul, South Korea, but should be offered at your local fair. Or you could make one yourself. […]

I’m going to take it a step further…rather than dealing with the fries…I’m going hashbrown shredded potatoes…oh yeah, it’s happening!
ARE THEY HEALTHY??!!
This is awesome!! A little indulging as a treat for a fries lover of my hubby. Thank you and never mind the critics, we all do what makes us happy!
People asking “Is it healthy”?
Stop and think.
What kind of oil are you using? Peanut Oil? Coconut oil? Lard? Big differences in the health aspect of each.
Also, what is your daily diet like? do you eat plenty of heart-healthy fish, kale, quinoa, lean protein, green vegetable? Yes? Then, calculate the calories, and don’t worry about it.
Or, are you eating candy bars and McD’s every single day, frying it in bacon grease and lard, and consuming 2 a day?
Your bodies are pretty resilient. It’s all about moderation…and, the careful use of oils in cooking…where simply calories are the only factor if using healthy oils.
