Treat your ingredients with care...

  • German sausages — Ensure the sausages are fully cooked before serving. You can also simmer them in beer or water for added flavor.
  • Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to reduce its acidity if desired.
  • Crispy fried onions — If you can't find pre-made crispy fried onions, you can make your own by thinly slicing onions and frying them until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

  • Experiment with different types of German sausages to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Toast the buns on the grill for a few minutes to enhance their texture and taste.
  • Add a slice of cheese on top of the sausage for a gooey and melty addition.
  • Serve with a side of German potato salad for a complete meal.
  • For a spicier kick, use spicy mustard or add a dash of hot sauce.

Serving advice

Serve the German-inspired gourmet hot dogs with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad for a satisfying meal. Don't forget to provide extra napkins, as these delicious hot dogs can get a bit messy!

Presentation advice

Arrange the hot dogs on a platter, garnishing them with a sprinkle of crispy fried onions and a drizzle of mustard. Serve them alongside a colorful array of condiments, such as pickles, relish, and different types of mustard, to allow your guests to customize their hot dogs according to their preferences.
