1 Video | Photo: Veronica's Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus additional olive oil, if necessary
- 1 pound good-quality hot dogs, pierced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Boil the potatoes whole until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature. Peel and cut potatoes into bite-size pieces, discarding potato skins.
Put the hot dogs into a hot grill pan and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool the hot dogs to room temperature, then cut them crosswise into bite-size pieces.
Toss the potatoes, parsley, basil, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season the potato salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the hot dogs to the salad and toss. Season to taste, adding additional olive oil if the salad seems too dry. Serve the salad at room temperature.

My teenager is taking Italian and tomorrow is International Dinner night at the high school. He did all of the work himself with me watching and providing guidance. We increased the recipe except for the hotdogs and added some smoked sausage to make a whole pound of meat. It went into the fridge and we will check the seasoning before it is taken to school around 4:30 pm. We may need to add a little olive oil. It came out beautiful and tastes pretty good. Instead of boiling the potatoes whole he peeled and then cut them up before boiling. When they were done we drained them and let them cool in a colander over the pot. This seemed easier for him. I think for a change you could add some italian salad dressing and toss though I like it just the way it is. This has happened many times since elementary school that my sons had to make something for school (usually from our family heritage like Irish or English foods. thank you for recipes like this. I also like that it was a childhood favorite. Because we were having hotdogs for dinner my husband cooked these hotdogs and the smoked sausage on the grill at the same time. Besides cooking them in a grill pan you could also cook them in the oven on a broiler pan which I've done before with good results. I would like to see more recipes that are easy to make.
