I’ve had this since I was a kid. It’s really good with mustard first then mashed potatoes. Also it was really fun andeasy for me to make as a kid.

My grandparents would make these for us as kids, and my grandfather's mother in Oklahoma used to make them for him as a kid. Hush puppies. You put the puppy (hotdog) to bed and cover him up with a blanket (cheese)

This was one of our fun go-to suppers the next day after a large dinner when we had leftover potatoes. I throw a couple little twists into the picture when I make them now. I very lightly grease the foil with bacon fat before I put the hot dogs on the pan. Just enough for flavor but not so much that they get greasy, I add 4 green olives w/pimentos on top of the potatoes and then a little ketchup. I’m not really a cheese guy so I leave them out of my recipe. Mmmmm tasty..

Having some mashed potatoes in the fridge, I made these last night for dinner. These are really, really good. I reheated one for lunch today and it was just as good. What a great, simple and inexpensive meal. I sure was surprised by how delicious this was.??

I didn't follow this recipe exactly, but when my initial plan to make a hot dog, mashed potatoes, and cabbage fell through, I took inspiration from it. I wrapped the hot dog in a slice of cheese, put it in a bun, and then topped it with mashed potatoes. It was surprisingly good! Thank you!
