Heart Attack on a Stick

Yet one more reason that I am not allowed to own a deep fryer. I would certainly be dead by now.

French Fry Coated Hot Dog
from this website, seen first on Buzzfeed

Ingredients:

• One hotdog
• One large russet potato
• Plenty of oil for deep frying
  

For the batter:

• 100 grams of plain flour
• 75 grams of cornmeal
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• half a cup of milk

Peel the potato then slice into french fries in a mandolin slicer (or do it by hand). Set aside.

Mix together the dry batter ingredients, add the egg and the milk. Mix to a thick paste, adding more milk if it is too dry: you’re aiming at the batter being thick and sticky rather than runny like a real corn dog batter, slightly more viscous than a dough. Set aside.

Fry the french fries in oil until golden. Remove from the oil onto a paper towel. Coat the hotdog in the batter, then glue the french fries to the dog as best you can. Drop this monstrosity back into the boiling oil and fry until the french fries begin to brown.
