Instructions
Spice Mix for Potatoes
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the spice mix for the potatoes. Set aside.
Potatoes ("papas")
- Peel potatoes and cut them into French fry shapes - either thick strips or thin shoestring fries, depending on your preference.
- Place cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Allow them to soak for 15 minutes, then drain and pat them very dry with a kitchen towel.
- Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep-fryer, to around 375°F.
- Carefully add potato fries to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 5-6 minutes per batch, depending on size of potato fries. Remove fries from oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Transfer fries to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the spice mix over them. Toss fries gently to evenly coat with the spices.
Sausages ("salchichas")
- While potatoes are frying, cook the hot dogs. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Once hot, add beef hot dogs slices. Cook 3-5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned.
To Serve
- Spread seasoned fries on a serving platter, then top with sausage slices. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Offer ketchup, mustard, and/or mayonnaise for dipping.
