🛢️ Cooking oil for frying brand not specified
🟡 Classic yellow mustard in a squeeze bottle brand not specified
🍅 Ketchup in a squeeze bottle brand not specified
🥚 1 egg per serving
⚪ Mayonnaise in a squeeze bottle brand not specified

Instructions

1- Prepare the Sausages:

• Take each sausage and cut it in half lengthwise.
• On each half, make 8 perpendicular cuts on one end to create "legs" for your octopus by slicing halfway through.

2- Cook the Sausages:

• Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a splash of cooking oil.
• Place the cut sausages in the hot skillet.
• Fry them until the "legs" spread, curl, and crisp up. Be careful not to overcook.
• Set aside to drain on paper towels if desired.

3- Crisp the Fries:

• Preheat your oven and bake the shoestring french fries on a baking sheet until they're golden and crispy.

4- Cook the Egg:

• Using a separate frying pan, cook a sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk.

5- Assemble the Dish:

• On a rectangular serving plate, layer the hot, crispy fries.
• Arrange the cooked "octopus" sausages atop the fries.
• Generously drizzle classic yellow mustard over the dish.
• Create a diagonal pattern with ketchup.
• Add your desired amount of mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
• Place the sunny-side-up egg at the center of the dish.

6- Serve Immediately:

• The dish is best enjoyed hot and ready.
