What You’ll Need:
2 potato hotdog buns
¼ tsp poppy seeds
4 uncured New York style beef hot dog
1 kosher dill pickle
1 scallion
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 pepperoncini
4 packets yellow mustard
2 russet potatoes
1 tsp celery seed
1 small red tomato on the vine
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper
sugar
vegetable or safflower oil
Equipment:
2 rimmed baking sheets
Recipe Steps:
-
Prep Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Thinly slice potatoes into ¼-inch rounds (do not peel). Cut the tomato into 6 wedges and slice pepperoncini in half through the stems. -
Roast Chips:
Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, celery seed, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Roast on lower rack until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. -
Warm Buns:
Open the buns flat, top side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with 1 teaspoon neutral oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place on top rack and bake until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. -
Prepare Relish:
Meanwhile, remove root end from scallion, slice in half lengthwise then thinly slice. Coarsely chop pickle. Combine scallion, chopped pickle, vinegar, 2 teaspoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. -
Broil Hot Dogs:
Switch oven to broil, leaving potatoes in the oven. Brush hot dogs with 1 teaspoon neutral oil and place on rimmed baking sheet on top rack. Broil hot dogs until charred, about 8 minutes. Remove hot dogs and move potatoes to the upper rack and broil until golden brown and crispy, about 2 more minutes. -
Assemble Hot Dogs:
Place 2 hot dogs on each bun. Top with mustard, relish, tomato wedges, and pepperoncini. Serve potato chips on the side. Enjoy!
