1
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create French fries.
2
Soaking the Fries
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
3
Drying the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and pat the potato strips dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible.
4
Heating the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.

6
Cooking the Hot Dogs
While the fries are frying, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the hot dog wieners and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can grill them for extra flavor.
7
Slicing the Hot Dogs
Once cooked, remove the hot dogs from the water (or grill) and let cool slightly. Slice each wiener into bite-sized pieces.

8
Combining Ingredients
In a large serving bowl or plate, combine the hot dog pieces with the crispy French fries.
9
Adding Condiments
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the salchipapas mixture. You can adjust the amount of condiments to taste.
