07 Step
Recipe View
Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chives, crispy fried onions, or a drizzle of Dijon mustard.
For a gourmet twist, try using gourmet sausages instead of hot dogs.
Add a sprinkle of paprika to the potatoes before baking for a hint of smokiness.
If you're short on time, microwave the hot dogs until heated, then top with potatoes and cheese and broil for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and bubbly (watch carefully to prevent burning!).
For extra flavor, mix some shredded cheddar cheese or chopped crispy bacon into the mashed potatoes.
