Author Notes
I’m a sucker for any kind of board. It means variety, it means fun toppings, it means customization, and who doesn’t like that? Here, I made a hot dog board that would be perfect for all your summer cookouts, including the Fourth of July. The board includes a four-ingredient potato salad, quick pickles (that remind me of McDonnald’s pickles in the best way), pickled onions, fried onions, kimchi, sauerkraut, several different types of hot dogs and buns, and more. It may seem like a lot of components, but I promise you they all come together quickly and effortlessly. Half of them already come pre-made, and many use several of the same ingredients.
Combinations You’ll Love:
- Sauerkraut + stone-ground mustard
- Chili mayonnaise + pickled onions + parsley
- Potato salad + fried onion
- Quick pickles + chili mayonnaise
- Kimchi + chili mayonnaise
- Fried onion + ketchup + stone-ground mustard

Add the onion and fry until deep golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
