Ingredients

  • 8 Vienna all-beef hot dogs
  • 2 pounds Idaho potatoes, unpeeled and straight cut (3 inches long by 1/2-inch thick)
  • 8 hot dog buns with poppy seeds
  • 1 cup minced onions
  • 1 cup brunoise fresh tomatoes, seeded
  • 1 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 cup sweet pickle relish
  • Sport peppers, to taste
  • Celery salt, to taste

Directions

Preheat the fryer. Fill a stock pot 3/4 of the way full with water and bring to a boil. Add the hot dogs, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the hot dogs are plump, about 6 to 8 minutes. Fry the potatoes until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally for even browning. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Place the hot dogs in the buns. Start topping the hot dogs with 2 tablespoons of each: onions, tomatoes, mustard and relish. Top with sport peppers to taste and sprinkle a little celery salt on top. Place each hot dog in the center of a piece of deli wrap. Place the fries next to the hot dog. Wrap the dog and the fries up tightly and serve.

    Didn't try it

    It might be a good hot dog but it's not a true Chicago style hot dog. Where's the pickle? Where's the cucumber?

    Holy Cow! How Wrong.

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    This is by far the worst Chicago hot dog recipe I've ever seen. I signed up just to post a review! BOILED?!?!?! I didn't even... look to see what the Idaho potatoes were for. Where's the pickle spear?!? Salt and pepper? Why not put ketchup on it? If you're looking for a good dog, with all the essentials: http://www.portillos.com/. All ingredients delivered right to your door minus the Idaho potatoes :)-- (most of the nation can't provide the right ingredients). Don't listen to this goon and always dress the dog, not the bun...Read more

    NOT a Chicago Dog

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    A Chicago-style hot dog also includes a pickle spear. The sweetness of the pickle spear plays off of the heat of the sport... peppers and adds another texture - crunch - to the meal. And, yes, in Chicago putting ketchup on a hot dog is considered sacrilegious. Do it and you'll be immediately known as an outsider.Read more
