The Best Frozen Corn Dogs On The Market Come From A Popular Korean Brand
Corn dogs are an easy, lovable snack that can conjure images of warm summer days spent at the ballpark. The classic favorite has been made convenient in frozen form, so the next time your day calls for an instant pick-me-up, nosh on this treat-on-a-stick without having to make anything from scratch. But which package to pick? Well, in our ranking of 8 frozen corn dogs, our taste tester picked the Korean-style version, Pulmuone Crispy Potato Corn Dogs, as top dog on her list.
Founded by Korean food pioneers, the brand has set out to carry its origins as a "wholesome foods" company. Its Crispy Potato Corn Dogs contain bonus ingredients folded into the batter, which means each bite is speckled with cubed potatoes. While the product name is a bit of a misnomer — the breading doesn't contain cornmeal and the hot dog is replaced by a stick of mozzarella cheese — our writer described this product as "undeniably delicious." When savory potatoes complement a thick, fluffy batter that is lightly sweetened and a gooey piece of mozzarella is hidden inside, this is the kind of snack that delivers both flavor and texture. Our writer isn't the only reviewer obsessed with this easy-to-make snack. "9/10, the potato has nice flavor, cheese is nice and perfect consistency. I ate it with ketchup on the side," wrote a fan on Reddit.
Serving a simple bite of comfort
Aside from noting the absent sausage in this recipe, some shoppers have admitted that the sweeter batter was an unexpected surprise and reached for spicy gochujang sauce to help balance the flavor. Others dressed up their dogs with kewpie mayo and chili oil. Yet even without these alternations, fans of the dogs have stated that these doughy, cheesy dogs have changed their brain chemistry. "I love these so much. I'm addicted now and avoid buying them just because I could eat them every single day," wrote a customer on TikTok.
Pulmuone's Crispy Potato Corn Dogs can be heated in an air fryer, oven, or microwave, making them an easy snack to enjoy with little work on your part. In a few minutes, you'll have warm, crispy bites to plate with your favorite condiments or carry out to the backyard. For an easy weekday dinner, serve the snacks with crispy fries and a simple salad or douse them in chili for a heartier meal.
