By Golfwidow7

Ingredients

• Franks:
• 1/2 c all purpose flour
• 1/3 c cornmeal
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 c milk
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 18 cocktail franks
• 5-6 c frozen curly fries, thawed slightly
• Dip:
• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 c mayonnaise

Preparation

Step 1

Make the franks: whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar and paprika in a bowl. Add the egg and milk and whisk to make a thick batter, adding more milk if the mixture is too dry. Add 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste.

Heat about 2" vegetable oil in a large pot over medium high heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Dip the franks into the batter, then carefully wrap a long curly fry around each.

Working in batches, fry the franks in the hot oil, turning, until golden on all sides, 3-4 mins. remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; sprinkle with salt.

Meanwhile, make the dip: whisk the Sriracha, lime juice and mayonnaise in a bowl. Serve with franks.
