When you take the time to do this up right - it makes a really spectacular presentation and kids love it. If serving for kids - you might want a different filling for the center.


Crown Roast of Hot Dogs

Quite the display - hot dogs strung together and arranged into a crown with a sauerkraut filling to finish.
INGREDIENTS

* 20 hot dogs or weiners (preferably with skins)

Sauerkraut Filling

* 1 cup onion
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 3 cups shredded raw potato
* 2 cans (27 ounces EACH) sauerkraut, washed and well drained
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 4 teaspoons caraway seeds
* 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
* 1-1/2 cups California raisins
* 1 cup sour cream

PROCEDURE

Lay hot dogs side by side with curved side up. Using a large needle and clean string or dental floss, sew through all the hot dogs 1 inch from the bottom and 1 inch down from the top. Tie ends of top string together, bringing first and last hot dogs of the row together. Repeat with bottom string. Stand up on a piece of foil to form a crown, with curved side out, in a baking pan. Set aside.
For Sauerkraut Filling

Saute onion in oil; add potato, sauerkraut, wine and seasonings; reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Add raisins, cover, and allow to stand a few minutes to plump them. Then, stir in sour cream. Spoon into center of crown roast and bake in preheated 375°F oven for 20 minutes.


Now, I put this under pork, but I prefer all-beef Kosher Hot dogs for this recipe because their skins are thicker and they just stand up nice - but if you can find a really good quality pork hot dog with a sturdy skin - use it. If you don't want to make the suggested Sauerkraut filling, you can fill it with Cole-Slaw or garlick mashed pototas, potatoes O'Brien, Mac N Cheese.. anything that suits you.
