Mom's Hot Dog Boats image

"This is an old family recipe....My kids love it. They usually eat 3 to 4 hot dogs each. You could even make this a vegetarian meal by substituting your favorite vegetarian ingredients. You can use any type of hot dogs or sausages that you would like."

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package hot dogs
4 processed cheese singles (such as Kraft®), cut in half

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Return to the pot, and mash with the milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, place the hot dogs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then keep warm on low until the potatoes have been mashed.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Cut the hot dogs down the center, leaving the two halves attached (like a hot dog bun). Stuff the hot dogs with mashed potatoes and place into a baking dish. Place half a slice of cheese on top of each hot dog.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and has melted, about 1 minute.
