    French Fry Corn Dog. A popular street food in Korea where the corn dog is wrapped with diced potato french fries. Totally indulgent and so delicious!

    French Fry Corn Dog

    When I first came across these french fry crusted corn dogs, I was in pure amazement. My exact words were, "What is that???" So of course I went down this deep rabbit hole googling every single YouTube video about this dish.

    So what is a Korean french fry corn dog? Well there are a few variations of it. But essentially it's a hot dog wrapped in a yeast based dough covered in floured diced potatoes. It is then deep fried and served with sugar, ketchup, mustard, and/or a sweet brown sauce.

    What does a Korean potato corn dog taste like?

    Picture your classic corn dog but inside you have a hot dog and melted mozzarella cheese. The dough is much chewier than the classic one. Accompanied with that chewy casing is the crunchy fried potatoes coated in sugar.

    My french fry corn dog recipe does take some time to make but once you make it you can freeze the leftovers and have them anytime if you re-heat them in the microwave, air fryer or oven.

    I really hope you give this recipe a try! It's absolutely scrumptious and my favourite part is actually the cheesy goodness! I don't usually eat dairy but for this recipe I will! If you're vegan, you can remove the hot dog and substitute with a vegan cheese that melts.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following Korean corn dog ingredients:

    400 grams mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 long rectangular pieces each at 4-5 inches long
    3 hot dogs, cut into 2 inches pieces
    8 medium potatoes, peeled and small diced
    1 cup panko breadcrumbs
    Β½ cup flour
    3 cups vegetable oil for frying

    Korean corn dog batter:

    • 2 cups lukewarm water
    • 4 tablespoons white or brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 4 tsp dry yeast
    • 3 Β½ cups all purpose flour

    Required: 8 wooden chopsticks

    Suggested condiments: sugar, ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise

    How to make french fry corn dogs

    In a large mixing bowl, sift your flour and salt. Whisk it together until well combined.

    flour and salt

    Then in a small bowl, mix together lukewarm water, sugar and dry yeast until yeast has melted.

    Then pour it into the flour mixture. Whisk your ingredients together until it becomes a sticky dough. Cover your dough with a warm towel and let it sit for 30 minutes to let it rise.

    Meanwhile, peel and dice your potatoes into 1 cm x 1 cm pieces. They need to be small or they won't stick to your dough casing. Flour the potatoes with Β½ cup flour.

    batter for French Fry Corn Dog

    Cover your hotdog cheese skewer in the dough with a thin layer (if it is too thick, your corn dog will be very large as the dough will expand in heat). Important: Make sure to cover the cheese completely in dough or it will leak out as it fries.

    Then cover the dough covered skewer in the floured diced potatoes.

    coat in diced potatoes

    Cover the potato corn dog in panko bread crumbs especially where there is exposed dough.

    Repeat this process until you have made 8 corn dogs.

    Then in a large wide pot filled with 3 cups of cooking oil, bring it to medium heat. Place a wooden chopstick in the oil and check for bubbles at the end of the chopstick. If there are bubbles, your oil is ready for deep frying.

    Deep fry corn dogs 2 at a time for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    While hot, coat the hot dogs in sugar (optional step).

    Enjoy with your favourite condiments!

    These Korean corn dog with potatoes can last 4-5 days in a resealable container or bag in the fridge. You can also freeze them and reheat them in a microwave (2-3 minutes) or oven (15-20 minutes at 350 degrees) for later.

    Tips

    • Allow the dough to rise and give it a full 30 minutes to do so. If you don't wait long enough, you won't have enough dough to work with and it won't give you a fluffy chewy corn dog
    • Use deep baking pans to hold your panko breadcrumbs, diced potatoes and corn dogs. They will come in very handy versus using plates where the ingredients will spill out.
    • Dice the potatoes into 1 cm x 1 cm pieces. The smaller they are the better as it allows for them to stick to the dough and not fall off
    • Cook your corn dogs in medium heat and no higher.
    • Don't forget to skim out any potatoes or breadcrumbs left in the oil as you cook your corn dogs. The remnants will change the taste of your oil as time passes.
    • After the corn dog is cooked and still hot, coat it in sugar so it sticks better
    • Take your time and have fun making these!

        Hi Kelly, yes I would advise deep frying them and then storing them in the freezer to reheat for later. You can use an air fryer or oven to reheat it.
