Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 6 pieces Hot dogs
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Slice the hot dogs into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to create a roux. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Layer half of the potato slices evenly on the bottom of the dish.
Spread 1 cup of the sauerkraut over the potatoes. Top with half of the sliced hot dogs.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layers. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, sauerkraut, hot dogs, and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, tangy, and cheesy dish!
