Ingredients

• 16 oz frozen French fries
• 4 pieces hot dogs
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 4 pieces eggs (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0 hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bake or air-fry the frozen French fries according to package directions until golden and crispy. Set aside.

Step 2

While the fries cook, slice the hot dogs into 1/4-inch thick diagonal coins. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sliced hot dogs to the other side. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hot dogs develop a slight sear.

Step 7

Add the cooked French fries to the skillet and toss everything together.

Step 8

Sprinkle the smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt evenly over the hash. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

If using eggs, cook them separately to your liking (fried, poached, or scrambled) while the hash finishes cooking.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the hash with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with optional eggs on top and a drizzle of hot sauce, if preferred.
