Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 natural casing all-beef franks
4 fresh hot dog buns
1 small white onion, finely chopped
8 jarred sport pickled peppers (or sub pickled hot peppers)
Homemade Bread and Butter Relish, for serving, recipe follows
Yellow mustard, for slathering
Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, for serving, recipe follows
1 cup bread and butter pickles, finely diced
1 tablespoon pickled cherry peppers, finely diced
1 teaspoon sugar
Vegetable oil
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
Celery salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve.
Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large potatoes
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

For the potatoes: Spiralize the potatoes into fries and soak in water in a container for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
For the batter: Combine the flour, paprika, seasoned salt, cayenne, some salt and pepper and 1 cup water in a large pitcher and pour into a large resealable plastic bag.
Drain the fries and pat dry. Put them in the bag with the batter and massage to make sure they are coated thoroughly with it. Set aside for 30 minutes so the fries can absorb all the flavors.
Heat about 3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat to 365 degrees F.
Cook the fries in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
