I used to eat fried potatoes and hot dogs as a child and never knew it was a Poor Man's Meal. Mom used to sliced our potatoes rather than cube them and slice the hot dogs long ways instead of in dices. Haven't had that meal in ages. I'm going to fix it up tonight. Thanks, Clara, for awakening a good memory. KasinH.
