#SundaySupper

Since July is National Hotdog Month, #SundaySupper is celebrating with a roundup of Hamburger and Hotdog recipes! This week’s event is hosted by Christie of A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. My recipe may not include the grill, but Salchipapas are a great way to prepare hot dogs Peruvian-style.

Salchipapas (Peruvian Sausages and Potatoes)

Salchipapas (literally sausages/salchichas and potatoes/papas) originated in Peru, but have also become a staple in Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia. They are available through street vendors, fast food locations, and as kids’ meals. Thinly sliced beef hot dogs or sausages are sautéed (or fried), then tossed with french fries. The accompaniments vary by country, but I served mine with a sprinkling of parsley and ketchup, mustard, aji amarillo paste, and mayonnaise for dipping. Other sauces such as a green chile sauce or salsa rosada (a creamy tomato mayonnaise) are also popular.

I thinly sliced the hot dogs into ovals, but have also seen them cut crosswise into thirds with small crosses cut into each end. If desired, the hot dogs can be fried in the oil instead of sautéing in the pan. Fry the potatoes twice (after they have thoroughly cooled the first time) for an extra crispy texture.

If you don’t want to deal with frying the potatoes, you can use frozen french fries and bake them right before tossing with the sausages. It won’t be quite the same, but will decrease the amount of oil and effort.

Aji Amarillo (Yellow Chili) is a bright orange chile with about the same heat level as Tabasco or Cayenne on the Scoville Scale. In addition to heat, it also has a bit of fruitiness. I was able to find Aji Amarillo Paste in the Peruvian section of the International market. I have also seen it in the international section of larger supermarkets like Wegmans. You can sometimes find the chilies dried or frozen. If you can’t find it locally, it is available on Amazon (but for a more expensive price): Zócalo Peru Aji Amarillo Paste Organic, 8 Ounce.

    How can you go wrong with these flavors? I must make this for the girls – they love the sausage & french fries but I may get all the sauces for myself!
