Ingredients for Octodog & Fries

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Season the Fries

    In a mixing bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Octodogs

    While the fries are baking, use a sharp knife to cut slits into the hot dogs to create the octopus legs. Make four slits on one end of each hot dog.

  5. 5

    Cook the Octodogs

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hot dogs until they are heated through and the legs curl up, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place each cooked octodog into a hot dog bun. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard as desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the octodogs alongside the hot, crispy fries and enjoy!
