Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons relish (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes, then chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes into a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the hot dogs and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and heated through.
Toast the hot dog buns in the same pan or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and warm.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the milk, unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste if needed.
Assemble the hot dogs by placing the cooked hot dogs into the toasted buns. Add your desired toppings, such as mustard, ketchup, and relish.
Serve the hot dogs with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on the side. Enjoy your hearty and easy meal!
