Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 6 pieces Hot dogs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes, then place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until fully incorporated and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Take one hot dog and wrap it with a layer of mashed potatoes, pressing gently with your hands to form a smooth, even coating around the hot dog. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and mashed potatoes.
Roll each mashed potato-covered hot dog in all-purpose flour, ensuring it is completely coated.
Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each floured hot dog into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure they adhere. Repeat with all hot dogs.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (180°C) for frying.
Carefully place the cheese dogs in the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the mashed potato cheese dogs from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup or mustard. Enjoy!
