What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Be Our Guest: Jersey Hot Dogs! Ask anyone how they prefer a hot dog and you’re bound to get a multitude of answers. Some prefer ketchup and onions, others insist on mustard and pickle relish. When grilling or roasting you hear everything from “barely warm” to “charred and crispy”. And then there’s New Jersey where the technique has been practiced for over a century. Maybe you know the secret: crispy potato chunks, sweet red peppers, and grilled onions. Overload the bun and slather on the mustard. Pay attention. You’ve just entered the Hot Dog Zone of America!
JERSEY HOT DOGS
Ingredients:
3 new potatoes, cut into chunks
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet red pepper, cut into strips
1 Vidalia onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning
4 Angus beef hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
Deli Mustard to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in an iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add potatoes. Fry for 3 minutes; turn and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Potatoes will be partially crisp and browned. Remove and set aside. Add sweet red peppers and onions; repeat same frying process. Return potatoes to skillet. Add Italian seasoning. Combine vegetables. Cook 5-7 minutes longer on medium heat until all are tender and browned. Open hot dog buns and smear with deli mustard. Grill hot dogs as you prefer them. Insert hot dogs into sliced buns and fill with potato mixture.
LOOKS GOOD GAIL BUT WHERE DOES ONE BUY THE HOT ITALIAN SEASONING, IT SOUNDS GOOD BUT HOW HOT IS IT? CHINA

The Italian seasoning comes in a premixed packet in the salad dressing aisle of the supermarket. It’s alright to omit it if you choose. 🍁🍂🌾
