Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat enough oil to cover the potatoes to frying temperature (325 to 350 degrees F), and add the potato rounds. Turn them over when they begin to stick to the pan, and fry until the potatoes are browned and crispy on the outside. (The potatoes can also be cooked in a deep fryer for 3 to 5 minutes.) Set the potatoes aside, and turn the heat down to medium.
- Add the hot dogs, onions and peppers to the remaining oil in the saucepan. Let them cook together and exchange flavors until the hot dogs are done and the onions and peppers are beginning to brown.
- To build The Single: Cut the bread into quarters. Starting at the point of one wedge, slice open through the soft middle of the bread, not across the crust and not completely in half. You should be able to peel open the bread just enough to make a pocket for the dog. Mustard can be added to the inside of the bun. Place one dog on the bottom, then pile with the onions, peppers and about half a potato worth of rounds. If the toppings are overflowing the bun, you're doing it just right. Ketchup and sprinkled red pepper flakes can be added on top. Have a fork handy!
- To build The Double: Cut the bread in half. Slice open a pocket in the middle of the half-moon. Put 2 hot dogs on the bottom and double everything, especially the potato rounds - about 1 potato's worth can fit on top!

Steps:
- Hot dogs can be boiled, but grilled is best. Clean and cut the potatoes into large wedges, skin removal is optional, then boil them till almost fully cooked, a fork goes through easily, strain them and finish cooking them on the grill with the dogs adding Olive oil as needed. Don't over boil them or they will crumble. Peppers can be cut smaller, but wedges are good too. Boil the peppers till cooked, this will remove the little sting that they have, if you enjoy that, don't fully cook them. Then the same as with the peppers, move them to the grill, next to everything and finish off their cooking in the olive oil. Take one roll, add a dog, load it up with potatoes and peppers, and there you have an Italian hot dog. Great with a few slices of white American cheese too. Yellow mustard. If you choose to add the onions, just slice thin and grill in the olive oil, no boiling needed.

Steps:
- In large frying pan brown hot dog chunks and sliced onion in oil. Add potatoes and seasonings and keep frying on medium high till potatoes start to brown, then add roasted peppers, stirring till mixture starts to stick. Add only enough potato water to cover bottom of pan and simmer approximately 8 minutes. Serve in pocket bread or on hoagie rolls.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the hot dogs will be. Look for fresh, high-quality sausage, bread, and toppings.
- Don't overcook the sausage. Sausage is best when it's cooked through, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a variety of toppings. The great thing about Italian hot dogs is that you can top them with just about anything you like. Some popular toppings include peppers and onions, sauerkraut, and mustard.
- Be creative. Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings and combinations. You might come up with a new favorite Italian hot dog recipe!
