Dad usually was in charge of making home fries because he made the best, and when he added hotdogs, we were always picking them out first and fighting over those little delicious cut-up hotdogs.
The recipe can be different every time you make this stovetop dish because whatever Dad had in the refrigerator could be another addition like peppers, and onions just to name a few.
Just by adding a few other vegetables, these became gourmet-style hotdogs and home fries.

My Heartwarming Christmas Story with Dad and I
The blizzard of 1966 I was only around 9 or 10 years old and on Christmas Day we were going to my brothers for dinner when it started snowing so bad in Utica, New York, we couldn't get out of the driveway.
Mom had always left to go to my brother's home to bring food she had made for Christmas dinner, with desserts, and couldn't get back to our home, Dad saved the day by making hotdogs and potatoes until the plows came so Mom could get back home to us but unfortunately wasn't until the next day!
Even though it was just Dad and I, this meal will always have a special place in my heart and I was always grateful to have anything he made, it was always a delicious meal and now a personal memory and treasured gift in life.
Never take the simple things in life for granted as they become your most precious treasured memories of all throughout your life.
