"With so many toppings to choose from that far exceed the popular trio of butter, chives, and sour cream, it's time to turn your thoughts to a protein-rich staple that's nearly synonymous with barbecues and ball games. Albeit an unexpected topping to level up your baked potato, the humble and hearty hot dog will do wonders to elevate your dish."
"Whether chopped up, charred, and tossed in sauce for a simplified version of BBQ burnt ends or housed whole, swapping the spud for a steamed bun, hot dogs as a topping for your baked potato are a unique and useful ingredient. This is an excellent way to bulk up your potatoes with added protein and invites a host of other toppings to create a fully loaded potato. Consider the possibilities of combining a chili dog and baked potato for the ultimate filling meal."
"You can use just about any style of hot dogs as a topping for your baked potato. The only limit is your imagination and dietary needs. For example, you can make a wholesome vegetarian or vegan version using a sweet potato topped with black beans and a chopped plant-based frank. With so many options to choose from, you'll never get bored with baked potatoes."
A baked potato offers nutrients and can serve as either a side dish or a full entree. Hot dogs act as a protein-rich topping that enhances flavor and substance. They can be chopped, charred, sauced for a BBQ-style effect, or served whole. Hot dog toppings bulk up potatoes and combine well with other ingredients to create fully loaded versions, such as a chili dog–style baked potato. Any hot dog variety works, and plant-based franks allow for vegetarian or vegan preparations when paired with sweet potato and beans. Hot dogs are typically pre-cooked and simply need warming before serving.
