Ingredients

• 4 pieces hot dogs
• 4 pieces hot dog buns
• 4 medium potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the hot dogs. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the hot dogs on the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly browned.

Step 5

If desired, lightly toast the hot dog buns on the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and fluffy.

Step 7

Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the potatoes are creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Assemble the dish by placing one hot dog in each bun. Serve alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your homey, satisfying plate of hot dogs with mashed potatoes.
