"Pretty darn tasty" as they would say around here. Very good, cheap and easy meal to make.

This is a recipe that I have used for over 20 years. For perfection, use jalapeno onion cheese dogs, garlic mashed potatos and top with sharp cheddar. This tip especially for the one star review that said it was bland and potatos don't go with hot dogs. This will certainly change your review to 5 stars.

This is really good, cheap and easy. My 61 year old husband was one of seven children of a butcher in N.J. and his mother really needed to stretch her dollars. I'd never heard of it but found it yummy. I pan seared my split hot dogs first to get that deep brown crisp on them which really adds another, delicious layer of flavor. I also had to use shredded cheddar because it's all I had. I also used Idahoan brand four cheese instant mashies because I had no leftovers. Talk about fast prep. Regardless of my changes, you can tell this is a wonderful recipe open to your imagination. Thank you so much!

Great idea for kids !! I was watching the neighbor's three boys tonight.. ages 15, 10 and 8 and they just thought this was the greatest ! I grilled the hotdogs first, added leftover mashed potatoes. Wrapped them individually in foil and put back on the grill for a short time to heat. Added some shredded swiss cheese on top. Served this over saurkaut, so there was no bun needed. Thanks for posting a unique way to make hotdogs and please kids, Deb Paul.

I thought I was the only one who new this recipe ; ) My mom raised 8 kids and needed quick, cheap meals. This one fit the bill. The only thing different we did was add a stream of mustard down the center slit and a squiggly one on top of the cheese before. Also, we did up the whole dog, potatoes, cheese and mustard and then put them in the oven to bake.

The MIL calls these "stuffed hot dogs." Very simple and quite tasty.

I have to admit I'm not a hot dog fan at all, so this recipe looked disgusting to me, but I had a HUGE bowl of leftover Thanksgiving potatoes, hubby and I were both trying to lose weight, and all 3 kids were sick of mashed potatoes. It was super quick and easy enough to make just for the kids, and they DEVOURED them! My kids usually devour hot dogs, but leave everything else (yet they think a bun is necessary... some kind of decoration, I guess.) They ate the entire thing with these, so they got more well-rounded nutrition out of it too (as well rounded as you can get with a hot dog, anyway!) I think these will be a staple lunch food for my kids whenever we have leftover potatoes!

Gee, I thought I made up this recipe about 30 years ago. lol I call it Hot Dog Special. I squeeze mustard in the dog before I spread the homemade (of course) mashed potatoes on it. It's great for what it is, an easy, kid friendly entree.
