In this recipe, we combine grilled hot dogs with grilled potato salad, and serve it as a side. So you can have a burger, chicken or other meat from the grill, and still enjoy a hot dog—mixed into the potato salad.

We adapted this recipe for Montreal Grilled Potato Salad from McCormick.com, adding our own spin: grilled frankfurters, cut into bite-size pieces and mixed into the potato salad.

The potato salad recipe makes eight 3/4-cup servings; depending on how many franks you use, the portions will be larger.

Prep time for the potato salad is 10 minutes, cook time is 20 minutes.

Put some franks on the grill at the same time, cut them into bite-size pieces and add them to the salad. You can also use brats.
