Recipe 🍳
- In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Knead with lukewarm water, then let ferment at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Peel the potatoes and dice them into cubes smaller than 1 cm so they adhere well to the batter surface.
- Thread sausage and mozzarella cheese alternately onto a wooden skewer, then coat thickly with the fermented batter by rolling.
- Roll the diced potato cubes onto the batter surface, pressing firmly with your hands to cover without gaps.
- Thoroughly coat any exposed batter between potatoes with breadcrumbs to strengthen the coating.
- Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan, then fry the hotdogs, turning, until the surface potatoes are golden and crispy all the way through.
- Drain excess oil from the hotdogs, then while hot, lightly sprinkle sugar all over for sweetness to finish.
- Make the batter and let it ferment for 1 hour; dice raw potatoes into very small cubes.
- Coat cheese-sausage skewers with fermented batter, then firmly attach diced potatoes and breadcrumbs in order.
- Deep-fry until the potatoes are golden inside and out, then sprinkle with sugar to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- If potato pieces are too large, they may fall off easily during frying or burn before cooking through, so cut them into small, uniform cubes.
- After attaching potatoes, when coating with breadcrumbs, press the whole thing firmly with your palm as if squeezing to prevent separation in the oil.
