Method

For the Mini Corn Dogs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it in about halfway. This will allow you to dip them easily into the batter.

  5. 5

    Fry the Corn Dogs

    Dip each hot dog into the batter until fully coated. Carefully place the coated hot dog into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a separate pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle salt over the fries while they are still hot. Toss to coat evenly.
