stuffed hot dogs

This particular recipe dates back to my childhood. If we were to dig deeper, we would picture my mom at BYU with her roommates, taking turns making dinner for each other, this being one of their favorite recipes.
I can remember my mom telling me many times that when she and my dad were first married (they were so young!), they couldn't afford to buy a whole package of hot dogs so she bought them individually. That was back in the day when they could hardly "rub two pennies together" and were "poor as church mice".
My kids did not have school today because we had parent/teacher conferences. I had never made these for my family before and when I saw our new package of Oscar Meyer hot dogs in the fridge and the potatoes on the kitchen counter I just knew I had to make them. My kids LOVED them just as I LOVED them as a kid. What's not to love?

Cut slits in each cooked hot dog. Stuff with mashed potatoes and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake or microwave until the cheese is melted.
