Step by step

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

Fry the potatoes for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
4
Remove the fried potatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5
Sprinkle the fried potatoes with salt immediately after removing them from the oil.
6
In a separate pan, add a small amount of the hot oil (or fresh oil) and pan-fry the sliced hot dogs over medium heat until lightly browned and slightly crispy.
About 5 min

Combine the fried potatoes and pan-fried hot dogs on a serving platter.
