How to Make Mashed Potato Cheese Dogs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes well. Return them to the pot and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat milk in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Add butter to the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy. Gradually stir in the warm milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make a lengthwise cut in each hot dog, about ¾ of the way through, leaving the bottom intact so it can open like a book.
- Lay hot dogs on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
- Spoon a generous amount of mashed potatoes down the center of each hot dog.
- Top each with two halves of an American cheese slice.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
