I just made this for my son for supper last night. I used shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese instead. He loved it, I made 4 thinking he'd have 2 left over for today's lunch but no chance, he ate all 4 of them. He's a wicked fussy eater but loved these.

I am not a hot dog fan at the best of times, but I fixed this tonight, and was super impressed with how good it actually tasted. The two guys eating with me enjoyed it too. I did jazz up the mashed potatoes a bit with garlic powder, parsley flakes, season salt and a bit of half and half. But other than that, I just used the American Cheese and regular Oscar Meyer weiners, and this really turned out yummy. Kudos and thanks for this handy recipe!

I have been making these for years, my mom made them when I was a kid (30+ yrs ago). We add mustard to the mashed potatoes, they are always a huge hit.

Very good, cheap, and easy. I used leftover mashed taters from last night, added some bacon, used cheddar as thats what I had on hand, and fried my dogs on both sides after cutting so they would have a nice flavor. I will totally make these again. I always have hotdogs and they were perfect to use up the left over taters and the true bonus was they were so quick to make =))

I didn't try this recipe because I've been making it for years and I know it's yummy! Like other reviewers here, my Mom used to make this for us as kids. I had no idea other Moms were making this for their kids, too. I always thought MY Mom invented it!! So easy and so good. You must try it. I do use different cheeses, however. Fontina is a good choice. Cheese with more chewiness is good. And I put a bit under the potatoes as well as on top. And flavored mashed potatoes are also a great addition. Garlic and chive potatoes are really good here. Any variation works.

My husband grew up on these. The first time he asked me to make them for him, I figured it was just one of his mom's oddball recipes, as she is prone to them. Now I see this recipe and I realize she wasn't alone! I personally think it's rather nasty, but hubby sure loves them!

I never grew up eating this, so I had to give it a try. I made it for my kids and none of us could eat it. It was really bad...

I've made this a couple times for my boys, as we had it growing up. I use all beef hot dogs and shredded cheddar, instead of process cheese food. It's even better if you use yesterday's potatoes and add chili over the top!

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. Simple as it was, the taste was quite bland. Mashed potatoes just don't go with hot dogs.

This was so easy with left over hot dogs since we're not big dog eaters. I used both jalapeno sausages and regular dogs and added chopped onion and leftover queso to the potatoes before stuffing. I topped with a little red pepper spice to give a little fire. There are so many things you can add to make each time a little different. My husband and I both loved it, especially with an ice cold Bud Light. We definitely experient some more with this recipe.

This meal was just okay. I probably wont make it again. My kids love hot dogs but they wouldn't touch it. They picked off the potatoes and poured katsup all over it. It really didn't have much flaver and I could only eat so much before I began to gag cause of the texture. I wouldn't suggest this to any one

This recipe wasn't bad, but wasn't that great either. It didn't taste as good as I'd hoped for after reading the reviews. Maybe I shouldn't use instant potatoes. I don't know that I would make this again.
