Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 1 lb. hot dogs
  • 2 c. water
  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 tsp. garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. dried parsley
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 2 Tbsp. flour

Instructions

  1. Cook hot dogs, onion, and garlic in a large, deep skillet until the onion is brown.
  2. Reduce heat, then add the flour and let it brown.
  3. Gradually add the water and the beef bouillon cube, stirring constantly to keep the mixture smooth.
  4. Add potatoes and parsley to the skillet.
  5. Cook until the potatoes are tender.

Tips & Substitutions

For a twist, try substituting turkey hot dogs for a lighter option. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or using beef bouillon instead of the cube. To save time, you can use pre-cooked hot dogs. Ensure the potatoes are uniformly cut for even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Hot Dog Delight with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Sour Sausage for a hearty feast. For a complete dinner, consider adding corn on the cob or coleslaw to the table.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking. You can also microwave in a covered bowl, stirring occasionally until heated through.
