Roasted Hot-dogs and Potatoes

Hello again, 

I know I said in my last post that I was going to use this blog to review restaurants and stuff…But for Christmas I actually tried out some new recipes and I figured I might as well post them here. Now I will still review restaurants on this blog, especially when the Chipotle’s opens here in Shreveport! Anyway here is something I made for breakfast on Christmas. I got the recipe here: 
http://www.food.com/recipe/roasted-kielbasa-potatoes-83207

The original recipe calls for kielbasa sausages, but I don’t eat pork. And let’s be honest, kids will eat just about anything if you throw hot-dogs in it. Also you might need more potatoes than the recipe calls for. A good rule of thumb is 1-2 potatoes per person (of course that depends on the size of the potatoes too!). The same goes for the hot-dogs, 1-2 per person.

So yeah I ended up making several changes. Here is my version of this recipe. Keep in mind this is a: gluten-free, dairy free, egg-free, wheat-free, kosher recipe. Believe you me, making something everyone in this house can eat is a pain!

Roasted Hot-dogs and Potatoes

Servings: 6

Ingredients

5-7 Potatoes, scrubbed and chopped into bite-size pieces (skin on)

4-6 uncooked Beef Hot-dogs (or any hot-dogs, again I don’t eat pork), cut into bite-size pieces.

¼ a cup Coconut Oil (enough to cover the bottom of a large skillet).

Spices for seasoning potatoes (Use whatever spices you like. I like Oregano, Paprika, Rosemary, Onion Powder, and Garlic Salt.)

Directions

1. Take a large cast iron skillet and spread the oil over the bottom. It should be enough to coat the potatoes in but not so much that it makes them soggy.

2. Preheat oven to 425°

3. Place the skillet in the oven while it’s preheating (this will make the potatoes cook more evenly).

4. Once the oven is preheated, take out the skillet. Pour the chopped potatoes and hot-dogs into it.

5. Stir the mixture so that it is lightly coated in oil.

6. Sprinkle the spices over the mixture.  Use as many or as few as you like.  It shouldn't need too much salt.

7. Place in oven and bake for 40 minutes to an hour (stirring occasionally) or until potatoes are done.

I fed this to a 3 year old, a 4 year old, and a 7 year old and they loved it!
