Hair of the (hot) Dog Recipe nomad1600
- 4 - small/medium potatoes (or 3 larger ones)
- 1 - onion, small/medium
- 6 eggs
- 4 - regular size hotdogs any flavor (i.e. regular, spicy, turkey, beef, sausage, etc.) or 3 hotdogs if they're the long or thick ones.
- Various seasonings, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, etc. (see below)
- Any other veggie like Green Pepper (1/2) or chives (handful or two) or anything else you wish to add but just don't add too much!
- Shredded cheese - any flavor, bagged or fresh. About 3-4 oz
- Dice the potatoes up into fairly small peices.
- Meanwhile, heat up either a skillet or a saucepan/pot (I like to use a non-stick pot; easier to mix in stuff) and use about a couple tablespoons of olive or vegtable oil.
- Basically, for a 12" diameter pan, covering about 3/4 of the bottom.
- Get this hot, but not burning.
- Have a cover or lid ready for the pot/pan.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the potatoes to the pan/oil.
- Stir around to coat.
- Cook these for about 5 mins.
- Start adding your seasoning.
- I use Everglades, Seasoned Salt, Emerils Essence, Pepper and a few squirts of hot sauce.
- Mix around vigorously.
- While this is cooking, dice up your hotdogs into little round disks about 1/4" thick.
- You can use whatever seasoning you like, however.
- Once the potatoes are about 1/2 cooked, add onions, chives, green pepper, etc.
- Also add the hotdogs at this time.
- Again, mix around thoroughly.
- with the lid.
- Keep the heat around medium/high.
- You may have to add a dash of oil about this time if the mix looks dry, just dont add too much!
- While this is cooking, break 6 eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk up until smooth.
- Take about a handful of shredded cheese and throw into this egg mix.
- Re-whisk until mixed.
- I use a 2 qt casserole dish for baking, however, you can use a quiche dish if its large enough and has an oven safe cover and oven safe rating.
- I like the casserole dish because it makes a thicker finished product.
- Spray the baking bowl down with non-stick spray.
- Return to your tater mix on the stove.
- Have you been stirring it?
- Hope so.
- If the potatoes are soft and everything is cooking down nicely, just add a dash more of the same seasonings, mix, and take off the heat.
- Carefully the potatoe mixture into the eggs which are in the mixing bowl.
- fold around to mix the two.
- Then, pour into the baking bowl or dish.
- Cover.
- Shove it into the oven.
- Have some coffee.
- OK, set your oven timer for 25 mins.
- When it beeps, remove the baking dish and check the product with a fork.
- It will most likely need about 5 mins more but it is imperative to not overcook this which is why you check.
- If it needs more time, just cook for 5 mins.
- After the eggs are cooked through and the product is firm, remove from the oven.
- Spread some more cheese on the top and throw the cover back on for a couple mins.
- Once melted (it wont take long), serve.
- I cut it up like a cake and use a spatula to remove the slices.
- Garnish with hot sauce, ketchup, or whatever floats your boat.
- Enjoy!
- Note: for a smaller pot or quiche dish, simply reduce the amounts by either 1/3 or 1/2.
