These are inspired by the street hot dogs they serve in Norway, that come wrapped in a flatbread that is similar to lefse. Lefse is a Norwegian flatbread made with riced potatoes. They sell it here in the supermarket, but if you can't find it you can substitute your favorite flour tortillas—or try making make lefse; I have a fun recipe!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 teaspoon cider vinegar 

1/4 teaspoon celery seeds 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1 large bulb fennel, thinly sliced (about 2 cups), plus 1/4 cup fennel fronds 

1 small red onion, thinly sliced 

1/4 cup whole-grain mustard 

2 tablespoons lingonberry preserves 

6 hot dogs 

Vegetable oil, as needed  

Six 6-inch pieces lefse (or 6-inch flour tortillas), warmed

Directions

  1. Combine the sour cream, cider vinegar, celery seeds, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a medium bowl. Add the fennel, fronds and onion and toss together. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  2. Whisk together the mustard and lingonberry preserves in a small bowl. 
  3. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over high heat.
  4. Split the hot dogs almost in half lengthwise. Oil the grill pan, then grill the hot dogs on the first side until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and grill on the second side until charred and heated through, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add each hot dog to a warmed piece of lefse, then top with the lingonberry mustard sauce and fennel slaw.

This was absolutely delicious and will be a new standard in our house. We used potato hot dog buns to get the potato flavor, and we made everything else exactly as the recipe states. I cannot recommend enough the combination of the lingonberry mustard and the fennel slaw. Amazing!
