Ingredients
- 700.0 g floury potatoes (peeled and cut into even chunks)
- 4.0 sausages (fully cooked or ready-to-cook pork, beef, or vegetarian sausages)
- 60.0 g plain flour (plus extra for dusting if needed)
- 25.0 g cornflour (helps keep the coating crisp)
- 1.0 egg (beaten)
- 120.0 g breadcrumbs (fine dried or panko breadcrumbs)
- 20.0 g butter (optional, for richer mash)
- 1.0 tsp salt (divided, or to taste)
- 0.5 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 500.0 ml neutral oil (for shallow or medium frying; sunflower or rapeseed works well)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water over high heat until the water reaches a steady boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the pieces are very tender and break easily when pierced with a knife.
- Cook the sausages over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through, browned in patches, and hot in the centre, then set them aside to cool slightly.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking gently, until excess moisture has evaporated and the surface looks dry and floury.
- Mash the hot potatoes with the butter, half the salt, the pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and thick, then let the mixture cool for 10 minutes until just warm and firm enough to handle; taste and adjust seasoning at this stage if needed.
- Divide the potato mixture into 4 equal portions and flatten each portion into an oval in lightly floured hands, then place a sausage in the centre and wrap the potato around it completely, pressing gently until sealed and evenly shaped.
- Place the plain flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with the cornflour in separate shallow dishes, then coat each potato-wrapped sausage first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing lightly so the coating adheres evenly and no potato shows through.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately and rises to the surface, then fry the potato hot dogs in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, turning carefully, until deeply golden, crisp all over, and heated through.
- Transfer the fried potato hot dogs to a plate and rest them for 2 minutes until the coating feels set and the steam subsides slightly, then serve hot with your favourite sauce.
