Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large potatoes (i use russets)
3/4 c chopped onion
1/2 c celery, chopped fine (about 2 stalks)
1/2 tsp mrs. dash original seasoning
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/8 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 c milk (i use 2%)
4 all-beef hotdogs, cut in 1/4" slices

Steps:

1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1" cubes; chop onion and celery; place in 4 qt. saucepan and cover with water.
2. Add seasonings and heat over medium-high heat until it potatoes are softened. Use an immersion blender (or potato masher) to break potatoes down and make it thicker and creamy consistency (we like a little chunkiness, so I blended it just a little).
3. Add in the butter and milk, stirring to blend. Add hotdogs and continue heating until the hotdogs are warmed through.
4. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
5. Note: If you don't want hotdogs, you can use cooked meatballs (beef, turkey or chicken), or maybe kielbasa. But try it first with the hotdogs!
