Here's what you'll need:
Hot dogs
Mashed potatoes
Cheese
Make some mashed potatoes.
Since I make these for my kids, they don't care if I use the instant mashed potatoes. So that's what I use. Or if you have some left over from dinner the night before, use them.Slice your hot dogs in half lengthwise.
Top with mashed potatoes and top the taters with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with ketchup to dip in.
Make 'em! You're kids will be so happy!!

I wish there was a name for this. Our family's been making and eating it for close to forty years. Love it.
My mother in law has made these forever! She calls them Swanky Franks.
I. LOVE. THAT. NAME. Swanky Franks. Thanks for sharing!
I grew up with them being called "Stuffed hot dogs"
The first time I had these hot dogs was at our school lunch. That was over 40 years ago! My kids and grandkids love them! Never knew the name until now! I don't make them very often, either. Not sure why
I think you could use hash browns or tatertots in place of mashed potatoes
I've heard people calling these hotdog boats
I do like the swanky franks name though LOL :)
My famiy has callef these swanky franks since at least the early '50's. Yum!
I have been eating these for years, every time we have leftover mashed potatoes.
We call them dic-tater...
I grew up calling them Shaggy Dogs. So good.
It's called a hotdog boat
We got these in school lunches called coney island quail
My grandma used to make these when she was a kid. She said they made them during the Great Depression because hotdogs and potatoes were cheap. She had 13 brothers to cook for after her mother passed away so she had to learn early to feed a bunch of hungry guys. I now make these for my grandson.
We call them "Dorothy Dogs" my late mother in law made them for the kids. We glady carry on the tradition!
My mom grew up during the great depression and when my siblings and I were years 10 and under in the 1970's...
My mom would make a mashed potato casserole, with hot dogs that were sliced round,shredded cheese,and milk.
She would then mixed the ingredients all together and finish it off with more shredded cheese layered on top.
It was delicious.
We have been having these forever. However, we add yellow mustard and diced onion to the hot dog slit before adding the mashed potatoes and cheese. Delish.
my mom always called them fluffy puppies loved them as a kid.
Introduced to Snow Caps in Home Economics class 1966 . This brings back a whole bunch of nice memories!
