Hot Dog Skewers Recipe

This hot dog skewers recipe is made with beef hot dogs and garlic butter baby potatoes. I served them with some pickles on top of a salad. We absolutely devoured them.

Hot Dog and Potato Skewers

These hot dog kebabs are a fun new way to enjoy hot dogs. Hot dogs cook so fast and are easy to make, but I like the idea of cooking them right on a skewer with baby potatoes to make a complete meal. This hot dog and potato recipe is super easy to make and I know everyone in the family will love them.

I pre boiled the potatoes so that they would cook on the grill with the hot dogs for the same amount of time. Normally, potatoes take a bit longer to cook than hot dogs so you definitely want to make sure you par boil your potatoes ahead of time.

I love hot dogs so much and I love that brands started to make hot dogs with better-for-you ingredients. Check out my air fryer hot dogs recipe if you have an air fryer.

Garlic Butter Potatoes

I love eating my hot dogs with a side of french fries or potato salad because I love the combination of potato and hot dog. Cooking up some potatoes on a skewer with a hotdog makes it easier to enjoy this combination. The garlic butter sauce has a touch of rosemary in it too and it just really takes this sauce over the top. It is so good.
