    Have a taste for a HOT hot dog with an upscale South of the Border touch? This is a hit. Its a somewhat unusual sausage, but obtainable - or you can make your own (email me for the recipe). I use duck fat here. I save the fat whenever I serve duck and I freeze it until I want that wonderful rich flavor in a dish. Of course, you may use the fat of your choice, or availability. Duck fat is often available in better grocery stores, in the frozen section. In this dish, as I present it, I wanted to take the 'hot dog' to a new place. These are so good that no other condiments are necessary, however, I also pair this with a fresh, chopped veggie salsa - onion, tomato, a bit of serrano, cilantro, lime juice, well chopped and combined. If you want to try something really tasty out of this recipe, but find the acquistion of some elements daunting - just try adding a pinch of ground cumin to the salt next time you make fries...it makes this dish. This would be a light dinner for two.

    • 4 red potatoes, washed, skin on, cut in 1/4" rounds

    2. When the fat is ready, slide the disks in doing a single layer, don't crowd them.
