Mom's Hot Dog Boats

• 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

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