Autumn pumpkin dogs’n pumpkin pie fries
Repost from old forum; I tried searching this one because it was was right around the time of the split, but I think it came afterwards as I couldn't find it. This was 2011's pumpkin cook
Begin by grilling a 10lb pumpkin till soft, scoop out, let cool, then rice it into a container. This will provide the base material for both cooks.
For the dogs, I substituted a pile of the pumpkin for corn in corn-dog batter along with a little pumpkin spice ale in place of the milk for the liquid. Dip, deep fry as usual & serve on your favorite stick.
For the fries, add to the pumpkin a few eggs, some brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, then spread the slop out onto a cookie sheet & into the freezer. A few hours later, flip it onto a cardboard box & chop into large steak fries then back into the freezer until ready to cook. To cook, dredge in corn starch (a test batch revealed flour wouldn’t cut it, had a catastrophic blowout of the interior which is very wet, made a mess, it wasn’t pretty), then deep fry in peanut oil until brown. Upon removal, a nice bit of kosher salt works nice. Next time I will press the pumpkin post cooking to get some of that moisture out as it made for too wet a fry.
Both were served with vanilla bourbon sauce & pumpkin ale.
The cool autumn air has arrived like clockwork in Pennsylvania to blow the stank out of summer. I for one am very happy about that:

Not sure where you are in PA; but I am down in Chester County. Love this time of year...
Your post and this cook are pure inspiration; and I am not a big fan of pumpkins... But I do have friends who are
Looking forward to learning more about the rest of your cooks...

Hapster, I'm about 2 miles outside of the borough of West Chester near Rustin High - I agree, this time of year rules, my favorite. Regarding your lack of fanship to pumpkin, try one out - just give it a grill with olive oil salt & pepper, scoop it out & eat it with a fork. I'd bet you change your mindhappy in the hut
