Ingredients for Plain Jane Boxed Lunch

Method

Directions for Plain Jane Boxed Lunch

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    While the fries are baking, heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the Nathan's Jumbo Hot Dogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in the oven for 1-2 minutes until warm and slightly crisp, if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Place each hot dog in a bun. Arrange the fries on the side. Serve with condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish) on the side for individual preference.
