Ingredients:

• 10-12 potatoes
• 1 onion
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 onion
• 5-6 hot dogs (sliced)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes into rounds.
   • Chop the onion finely.

2. Fry Potatoes:

   • In an electric skillet or large frying pan, melt the butter.
   • Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent and fragrant.

3. Combine Potatoes:

   • Introduce the sliced potatoes into the skillet, coating them well with the butter and onions.
   • Season with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

4. Cook Potatoes:

   • Cover the skillet and cook the potatoes over low heat for 3-4 hours, turning occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
   • The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in tender and flavorful fried potatoes.

5. Prepare Beans & Weiners:

   • While the potatoes are cooking, it’s time to prepare the beans and weiners.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the canned beans (drained and rinsed), ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and sliced hot dogs.

6. Simmer Mixture:

   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans and weiners uncovered for about 10 minutes or until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

7. Serve:

   • Once both components are ready, serve the Jazzed Up Beans & Weiners alongside the flavorful Fried Potatoes.
   • Garnish with additional chopped onions or your favorite condiments if desired.

Tips:

• For a time-saving option, you can use canned sliced potatoes instead of fresh ones. This will significantly reduce the cooking time while still delivering delicious results.
• Customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences by adjusting the seasoning or adding your favorite herbs and spices.
• Leftover potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick and tasty breakfast option the next day, pairing perfectly with eggs or other breakfast favorites.
