A delightful twist on classic hot dogs, filled with creamy mashed potatoes and topped with melted cheese.
Slice each hot dog lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts, and ensure the hot dogs are cold for easier handling.
Fill each hot dog pocket with a generous amount of mashed potatoes, distributing evenly.
Warm the mashed potatoes slightly for easier spreading and a creamier texture.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the stuffed hot dogs.
For a gourmet touch, mix in some grated Parmesan with the cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed hot dogs on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the hot dogs are heated through.
Cover the plate with a microwave-safe lid to prevent splattering and ensure even heating.
Serve the hot dogs warm and enjoy! Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or a drizzle of ketchup.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
