Directions
FOR THE FRIES:
Slice potatoes lengthwise into ¼-inch-wide fries. Place them in a large bowl of cold water and place in the fridge to soak for 2 hours, up to overnight. Don’t skip this step if you want to achieve crisp fries.
Drain potatoes and dry well with clean kitchen towels. Place in a clean, dry bowl. Add avocado oil and a pinch of salt, and toss to coat.
Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. Line the air fryer tray with parchment paper. Place fries on the air fryer tray. (Don’t overcrowd the tray too much. If needed, you can fry the potatoes in more than one batch.)
Place fries in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove tray, and flip the fries. Return to air fryer and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Remove from air fryer and transfer to serving dish. Serve with ketchup for dipping.
FOR THE VEGGIES:
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add 1 tablespoon avocado oil.
Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 17-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper and stir.
Remove peppers and onions from heat.
FOR THE HOT DOGS:
Soak 12 toothpicks in water for about 10 minutes.
Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each hot dog starting at one end and working to the other. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon slices to the hot dogs.
Preheat your grill to medium. (If your grill is large enough, heat only one side.) When warm, place the hot dogs on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until the bacon is crisp. Once cooked, move the hot dogs to the unheated side of the grill.
Place the buns, split side down, on the hot part of the grill. Allow to warm for 40-60 seconds before removing.
Place one bacon-wrapped hot dog ine each bun. Top with cooked peppers and onions. Drizzle with Primal Kitchen ketchup and mustard. Enjoy!

The hot dog is a true American classic. Traipse through any American city, and you’re likely to find vendors selling steamed hot dogs nestled in white buns, often tailored to the residents' eating habits. Chicagoans fiercely defend their version with its snappy Vienna Beef dog, pickles, tomato wedges, onions, highlighter-green relish, yellow mustard, pickled peppers, and celery salt. Cincinnati Coneys feature copious amounts of chili and shredded cheddar with optional diced raw white onions.
The Los Angeles "danger dog" can most likely be traced to Mexico. This substantial, rich dog hugged in crisped bacon has a tangle of griddled fajita veggies on top, along with ketchup, mustard, and sometimes even mayo and a roasted poblano. To pay homage to Primal Kitchen’s origin city, we crafted our own version of the Los Angeles danger dog. Pair it with our original Unsweetened Ketchup or A Tad Sweet Ketchup and our crisp, air-fried potatoes for a delicious, substantial meal.
