  3. Peel the baked potatoes, rice them and mix with scallions, Parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks into each hot dog, wrap with potato mixture, and press to seal.
  5. Heat vegetable oil to 375°F and fry potato-covered hot dogs in small batches for about 3 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve hot alongside the chilled dipping sauce.
