Fresh & Easy Potato Salad

This is a perfect potato salad for picnics, family gatherings, and game days. Kids and the guys love this salad. My friend's husband request this salad on Super Bowl days.

Ingredients:
  • 3 medium russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 pound hot dogs, pierced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • Sea salt & ground black pepper

Directions:
  1. Boil the potatoes whole until tender which is about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel skin and cut potatoes into bite-size pieces.
  2. Place the hot dogs into a hot grill pan and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cut the hot dogs crosswise into bite-size pieces.
  3. Toss potatoes, hot dogs, basil leaves, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt & pepper. Add more olive oil if salad seems dry. Toss well and serve!
