How To Make A Minnesota Dog! Porketta topped Franks with Top The Tater! Regional Minnesota Recipe

Surely you have heard of the famous “Chicago Dog”. Well, Minnesota has their own version of the hot dog using regional ingredients and let me tell you, it’s amazing! Give this “Minnesota Dog” a try and you won’t be disappointed. It’s loaded with regional favorites like Top the Tater and Porketta. Not sure what those are? They are regional to Minnesota and are absolute favorites around here. Definitely Minnesota Must Haves!

To make your very own Minnesota Dog you’ll need Porketta, Top the Tater, hot dog buns and Bar-S Franks. I use the bun length franks. They come in a big family size package so there are plenty for the whole family and they won’t break the bank either. They are tasty and affordable. In fact they are the #1 selling franks in the US! Find more information on Bar-S products

Porketta and Top the Tater are regional favorites here in Minnesota. Top the Tater is a sour cream based dip that has chives and onions in it. If you can’t buy it locally then you can make your own mix of the three ingredients. Porketta is also a regional favorite here and is a pork roast that is seasoned and slow cooked until it falls apart. It is bursting with flavor and if you can’t find this near you I have shared my Porketta recipe here so you can make it yourself!

Start by grilling your Bar-S franks to perfection.

Once your Bar-S franks are grilled you’ll place them into a bun.

Next top them with your Top the Tater sour cream spread and then top that with Porketta. I’ll show you how I make them in this one minute video!

    Great little video! I have never heard of a Minnesota hot dog before, nor Top the Tater or Porketta. But I love the sound of all of it! I sure wish we got the Top the Tater here in NC…sounds awesome! That hot dog is definitely a meal!

      You can easily make your own Top the Tater. Sour cream, onion, and chives is all you need!

    I have never heard of porketta or top the tater. Where I live we used to have something called chive-o which is sour cream and chives and I would use for baked potatoes but I don’t think they make it anymore. I would love to try making this recipe, it sounds very interesting.

      It is really similar to Chive-O, just add onions and you have Top the Tater.
