QUICK AND EASY HOT DOGS WITH MASHED POTATOS
This is an alternative to the traditional "hot dog and french fries" meal; not much harder to make but the taste and presentation appeal to adults as well as kids. I've found that Nathan's or Boar's Head hot dogs work best (I usually prefer Hebrew National brand but they are too dry for this recipe). And thick mashed potatoes work better than thin; the recipe calls for instant because it's quick and easy but leftover mashed potatoes are even better. I typically spoon the mashed potatoes onto the hot dogs but others may use a pastry bag and large whipped cream nozzle to ritz them up (it's pretty cool looking)
