A budget-friendly, easy one-pan meal combining crispy potatoes and juicy hot dogs with simple seasoning. Ready in about 30 minutes, perfect for a comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (about 900g), cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 8 hot dog links, sliced diagonally into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them into ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Slice the hot dogs diagonally into ½-inch pieces. Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the potatoes in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the bottoms turn golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the empty side. Stir frequently and cook for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add the hot dog slices to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over everything. Stir gently to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot dogs brown and flavors meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve straight from the skillet.

Notes

Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet for crispy edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Salt potatoes early to draw out moisture and enhance browning. Fresh garlic added with onions prevents burning. Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor. Do not overcook hot dogs to keep them tender. For variations, add cheese, spices, or vegetables. This recipe is naturally gluten-free if hot dogs contain no fillers.
