My Mother use to cook this when I growing up and my children grew up on it to! Some of my children make it for theirs. I know my grandchildren love it. In my days growing up, they would call this kind of meal, a "poor man's meal", like potato soup, which I love to! My parents grew up in the Depression Era so that is where the phrase "poor man's meal" came from. We now call this meal "Potatoes & Hot Dogs"!
Simple, good and a 1 pan meal!
**I use 1 package of Nathan koshered hot dogs because they are spiced up nice.
Dice the hot dogs, some potatoes and a 1/2 onion.
Oil pan with olive oil or canola oil and add mixture.
Sprinkle garlic salt & pepper to taste.
Cook until golden brown. Put a dash of ketchup or Cholula for added flavor!
For dessert, make a easy Buttermilk Pie! Dreamy, creamy!

Comfort food at it's best!

Now that is something my hubbie would love!
Never have had the pie but use to make something like this useing Kabasa or wranglers instead of hotdogs. Kids love it and hubby too!
ours was baked beans and hotdogs...beanie weinies and white bread with butter!
Loved potatoe soup!!!
HI Maryjane...
That's definitely a recipe I'll be writing down. My dad and I love "Depression" food...as in Depression Era food..but it's something we came up with one time when we were going through a lean time...it was cheap food, just enough to get by kind of stuff...cheap but still tastes good..and this is great. WE both love hotdogs and potatoes. I'll definitely be making this for sure!!!! The pie looks yummy too...Okay...Poor Man's Meal..here I come. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Mmm! Comfort, comfort, comfort! Thanks for sharing. :)
I love this as a Kid! My mom made it all the time and put it on her nice plates with ice water in the pretty picture to make us think we were having a special meal.
I love 1 pan means and this looks yummy. It's funny as I grew up with something similar and my Mom called it shipwreck. lol
Oh YUMMY!!! I am so hungry right now!
Hugs, Lisa
Oh, comfort food sounds good right now! Thanks for the recipes! ♥ Hugs! ♥
We make this all the time. Sometimes we use Kielbasa in ours, which gives it another great taste.
My parents made that same meal when things got tight. It was one of my favorites...we called it papas con weinies. A real international fare. Thanks for the sweet memory!
Sucuklu patatesi bende yapacağım. Ellerinize sağlık. Çok güzel olmuş
Saygılar.
I've had something similar with sweet potatoes and apples (minus the ketchup, of course). You'd think hot dogs, sweet potatoes, and apples wouldn't go together, but it was surprisingly good. You'll have to try that when you want to mix it up.
hi maryjane,
my sister, who loves hot dogs and potatoes, would love this recipe. thanks for sharing!
have a great day
love,

I like to make it with polish sausage - but I never met a hot dog I didn't like.
Did you know that there is a 93 year old lady on youtube named Clara who does a show called "Depression Cooking" with the help of her grandson? They did "poorman's meal" among many others. Very tastey.
Blessings,

I made something very similar to this the other night! It was good for a change.
I also grew up eating this. And for a twist my mom would make it for breakfast and add eggs to the mix. Very yummy!!!
Hi Maryjane, The hot dogs and potatoes look so good.what a great dinner. I'm going to make this. My husband would love it...Kathy
Hi Maryjane, I forgot about this meal, my Mom used to make that too! Thanks for stopping by and the answer to your question is YES thats going to be so much fun. If you want to to email me(klong17032@aol.com) your email I will send them to ya(;
Thanks Maryjane your the best!!
I make this too but with smoked sausage. Cabbage is good sliced up in it too.
I remember a depression candy recipe my Mom used to make from leftover mashed potatoes.
There are no "measurements". Just left over potatoes mixed with powdered sugar until it makes a stiff dough. Rolled out fairly thin. Spread with peanut butter, roll up jelly roll style. Freeze, then slice into pinwheels.
I have to look for the you tube grannie!
Hi MaryJane, that does look good...I am a sucker for anything made with potatoes though.
Oh, why did you have to show me that pie. Last time I ate a whole pie by myself. Your buttermilk pie is so yummmmy!
