Peru's irresistible platter of hot dogs and French fries pulls no punches.
Yukon Golds are creamier and more flavorful than the russets most often used for French fries.Triple-frying the potatoes ensures a crisp exterior.There's a world in which the instructions for homemade salchipapa consists of little more than this:Sauté sliced hot dogs in a skillet with some oil until lightly browned.
In Peru, common sauces with salchipapa include salsa de aceitunas, a briny black-olive mayo; ketchup; and sauces made from ají amarillo chile peppers .Even in its most pared-down form, salchipapa is still something of a choose-your-own adventure dish. There are questions of potato type, which is much more limited here in the States than in Peru, where the domesticated potato was born and varieties abound. There are questions of the potato cut and size . And the same goes for the hot dogs.
That's not to say crispness isn't important, and this recipe goes to some extra lengths to get there. Built on the foundation of, the fries here start with a simmer in vinegar-spiked water. This cooks them through, with the vinegar slowing the breakdown of natural pectin in the potatoes and ensuring they don't turn to mush. After that, instead of a mere double-fry, as in Kenji's recipe, they're triple-fried.
