Nanny’s Italian Hot Dogs
by Chef Patricia DeMauro

Preparation

1. Wash, peel and cut potatoes into thick slices. Peel and cut onions into thick slices. Wash, remove seeds and cut peppers into thick slices
2. Add 1 cup of oil to a heated frying skillet. Cook until hot. Place potatoes in heated oil, and be sure to step back from the skillet to avoid getting splattered with the heated oil. Fry the potatoes until golden brown. When potatoes are golden, remove from the skillet and place them on a plate that is lined with paper towels, to absorb the excess oils. Fry the peppers until browned, then remove them from the skillet. Fry the onions until browned.
3. Season the onions with garlic salt, garlic power and black pepper. Season the onions with garlic salt, garlic power and black pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes.
4. Use a sharp knife to score the ends of each hot dog. Heat a flat skillet on high temperature. Baste the skillet with oil. Place hot dogs on the skillet and cook until each side of dog is browned. Use a fork to roll the dogs around until they are cooked evenly all over.
5. Use a small sharp knife to cut a pocket on top of each half of the pizza bread. Take 1/2 of the pizza bread and slather 2 tablespoons of mustard on the inside of the pizza bread pocket. Spread the mustard evenly on both sides. Place the dog inside of the pizza bread pocket. Then add peppers over the hot dogs, and also add potatoes and onions.
