The Dog HouseTwice-Baked Hot Dog Surprise3 baking potatoes ½ cup chopped broccoli flourettes 4 diced hot dogs 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup sour cream Preheat oven to 400°F/210°C/Gas 6. Wash and de-eye potatoes; pat dry. Place potatoes on middle oven rack and bake 45-60 minutes until done, turning potatoes every 15 minutes. (Do not overbake. Do not let the skins get hard and crunchy.) While potatoes are baking, prepare the rest of the ingredients. When potatoes are done, remove from the oven and cover with a clean cloth until they are cool enough to handle. (The cloth will help keep the skin from hardening.) When potatoes are cool enough, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the filling, leaving enough potato for the skin to retain its shape. Set aside skins and cover with a clean cloth. Mash the potato scoopings, mixing with ½ cup of sour cream. Add broccoli, chopped hot dogs, and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Scoop the mixture into the potato skins, dividing evenly. Place on a cookie sheet, spaced evenly apart, and sprinkle the remainder of the cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 400°F/210°C/Gas 6 for 15 minutes, or until cheese is thoroughly melted. Remove from oven and garnish with the remaining sour cream and a sprig of fresh parsley. Serves 6. For a different flavor, try adding 1/8 cup minced onion or 1 cup bacon bits (real ones, not the sprinkle ones that come out of a can). |
