1 pack of hot dogs chopped in small pieces (beef, veggie, turkey, fat free, etc.)
1 can 14.5-16oz sauerkraut (Do Not Drain)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup NY style sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup deli style brown mustard

Directions:
1. Chop potatoes in small pieces, place in glass bowl and Cook potatoes in microwave on high for 5-6 minutes - just until tender but still firm.
