Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 8 bacon strips
  • 400 g frozen french fries
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 8 cherry tomatoes
  • ½ red onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the 400g frozen french fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.

  2. 2

    While fries bake, wrap each of the 4 hot dogs with 2 bacon strips, stretching the bacon slightly and tucking the ends under the hot dog to secure.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the wrapped hot dogs in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until bacon is browned and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, prepare the salad: in a large bowl, combine the 2 cups lettuce, 8 halved cherry tomatoes, and 0.5 thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt; toss to coat.

  5. 5

    Once hot dogs are cooked, let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve the bacon-wrapped hot dogs alongside the crispy fries and fresh salad. Add ketchup, mustard, or your favorite condiments if desired.

  6. 6

    For extra flavor, you can brush the hot dogs with a little barbecue sauce or honey before wrapping with bacon, or sprinkle the fries with paprika or garlic powder before baking.
