Instructions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat enough oil to cover the potatoes to frying temperature (325 to 350 degrees F), and add the potato rounds. Turn them over when they begin to stick to the pan, and fry until the potatoes are browned and crispy on the outside. (The potatoes can also be cooked in a deep fryer for 3 to 5 minutes.) Set the potatoes aside, and turn the heat down to medium.

Cut the bread into quarters. Starting at the point of one wedge, slice open through the soft middle of the bread, not across the crust and not completely in half. You should be able to peel open the bread just enough to make a pocket for the dog. Mustard can be added to the inside of the bun.

Place one dog on the bottom, then pile with the onions, peppers and about half a potato worth of rounds. If the toppings are overflowing the bun, you're doing it just right. Ketchup and sprinkled red pepper flakes can be added on top. Have a fork handy!

Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Rose Wine

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Hot Dogs. A Gewürztraminer will be great with your basic New York style hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. For a Chicago-style dog with sour pickles and hot peppers, you might opt for a crisp Riesling. No matter your toppings, a dry rosé almost always works. You could try Bully Hill Vineyards Dry Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
