Potatoes and Hot Dogs

Image via WikipediaThis was one of my all time favorites when I was growing up.  Today I still make it because it is fast, easy, and still as good as I remember it.  It takes only 30 minutes to make.  Add a salad and you have a complete meal.
Enjoy.

Hot Dogs and Potatoes

1 package of your favorite brand hot dogs (I like Koegel brand skinless) cut into bite size pieces
1 large onion, diced
1 (22 ounce) can tomato juice
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
4 or 5 potatoes cut into bite size chunks
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
Oil for cooking onions

In a large deep skillet, over medium heat, add oil and onions and cook until onions are translucent.  Add potatoes, tomato sauce, water, paprika and tomato juice, cover and cook about 12 minutes. Add hot dogs, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender and hot dogs are hot, stirring occassionally. You can add more water if necessary. Add the salt and pepper to taste and dinner is ready. It's sort of a "hot dog stew".

Roasting Garlic

Roasting garlic in the oven usually takes about 45 minutes.  Here is a quick way to do it if you are in a pinch.

 Roasting Garlic


Slice off the top of the head to reveal all the cloves. Place the head in a small, deep dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of good olive oil. Spoon 2 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and cook at medium power for 7 to 7½ minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before unwrapping.
