Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat enough oil to cover the potatoes to frying temperature (325 to 350 degrees F), and add the potato rounds. Turn them over when they begin to stick to the pan, and fry until the potatoes are browned and crispy on the outside. (The potatoes can also be cooked in a deep fryer for 3 to 5 minutes.) Set the potatoes aside, and turn the heat down to medium.
- Add the hot dogs, onions and peppers to the remaining oil in the saucepan. Let them cook together and exchange flavors until the hot dogs are done and the onions and peppers are beginning to brown.
- To build The Single: Cut the bread into quarters. Starting at the point of one wedge, slice open through the soft middle of the bread, not across the crust and not completely in half. You should be able to peel open the bread just enough to make a pocket for the dog. Mustard can be added to the inside of the bun. Place one dog on the bottom, then pile with the onions, peppers and about half a potato worth of rounds. If the toppings are overflowing the bun, you're doing it just right. Ketchup and sprinkled red pepper flakes can be added on top. Have a fork handy!
- To build The Double: Cut the bread in half. Slice open a pocket in the middle of the half-moon. Put 2 hot dogs on the bottom and double everything, especially the potato rounds - about 1 potato's worth can fit on top!

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG
The Chicago Dog is a Windy City classic, and a big favorite with sports fans! The frank must be all-beef, the bun must be poppyseed, the ingredients must be piled onto the bun in the order specified. And whatever you do, don't spoil the splendor with ketchup!

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place hot dog in water, and cook 5 minutes or until done. Remove hot dog and set aside. Carefully place a steamer basket into the pot and steam the hot dog bun 2 minutes or until warm.
- Place hot dog in the steamed bun. Pile on the toppings in this order: yellow mustard, sweet green pickle relish, onion, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt. The tomatoes should be nestled between the hot dog and the top of the bun. Place the pickle between the hot dog and the bottom of the bun. Don't even think about ketchup!

PANCHOS ARGENTINOS (ARGENTINE-STYLE HOT DOGS)
Panchos are Argentina's take on hot dogs-a street-food staple that features a vast array of toppings. Condiments typically include mayonnaise, mustard, and chimichurri. We swapped out the chimichurri in favor of a fresh salsa criolla, which takes just minutes to make with easy-to-find ingredients. It tastes even better the longer it sits.

Steps:
- Make the Salsa:
- Mix onion, bell pepper, and tomato in a large bowl. Add oil, vinegar, and lemon juice, then toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then toss again.
- Do Ahead: Salsa can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and chill. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before using.
- Make the Hot Dogs:
- Slice sausages in half lengthwise, going almost all the way through so they can be opened like a book, but are still attached on one side. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until hot. Working in batches, cook sausages cut side down, weighting down with a spatula or a small pot lid and turning once, until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Smear a generous amount of mayonnaise on both sides of buns. Arrange 2 butterflied hot dogs on each side of buns, cut side facing the bread. Top with mustard and a generous amount of salsa.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Jersey-style hot dog. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality meat, buns, and toppings.
- Cook the hot dogs properly: There are two popular ways to cook Jersey-style hot dogs: grilling and deep-frying. If you're grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the hot dogs for about 5 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through. If you're deep-frying, heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the hot dogs for about 3 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
- Use the right toppings: The classic Jersey-style hot dog is topped with mustard, ketchup, relish, and onions. However, you can also get creative with your toppings and add things like sauerkraut, chili, or cheese.
- Serve the hot dogs immediately: Jersey-style hot dogs are best served immediately after they're cooked. This will ensure that the buns are soft and the toppings are fresh.
Conclusion:
The Jersey-style hot dog is a delicious and iconic dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. With its simple yet flavorful combination of ingredients, it's no wonder that this hot dog has become a classic. Whether you're a Jersey native or just a fan of great food, be sure to try a Jersey-style hot dog the next time you're looking for a satisfying meal.
