How to Make Hot Dogs With Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil 1 pound of potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. While potatoes are boiling, slice 8 hot dogs lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  4. Place hot dogs on a baking sheet.
  5. Fill each hot dog with the mashed potatoes, mounding slightly.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the hot dogs are heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
