Notes

Another reason I like to use a combination of oil and butter is to keep the butter from burning.

Be sure to cut the potatoes into a uniform size for even cooking.

Remember to turn the potatoes often so they don't burn.

I think a big key to this is to get the potatoes nice and crispy before you add the hot dogs. Hot dogs cook faster than potatoes, so you'll want to wait until closer to the end to add them.

Keep an eye on the stove as these cook. Be sure to manage the heat throughout cooking and reduce if needed.

Upgrade Idea: Add an extra cheesy layer to your pan fried hot dogs. Sprinkle with your cheese of choice during the last minute of cooking for a gooey and tasty topping.

Ingredients to prep ahead- You can slice the hot dogs and wash the potatoes ahead of time.

Leftovers and storage- As mentioned, this dish will keep for about 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Use your microwave to reheat single servings in 30-second bursts until warmed through. Larger portions can be heated on the stove!
