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)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes, then chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Toast the hot dog buns in the same pan or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and warm.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the milk, unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste if needed.
Step 8
Assemble the hot dogs by placing the cooked hot dogs into the toasted buns. Add your desired toppings, such as mustard, ketchup, and relish.
Step 9
Serve the hot dogs with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on the side. Enjoy your hearty and easy meal!
