Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 6 Hot dogs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set the sliced potatoes aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Cut the hot dogs into 1/4-inch slices and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 8

Layer one-third of the potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the hot dog slices, then pour one-third of the cheese sauce over the top. Repeat this process two more times, ensuring the final layer is topped with sauce.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
