The Method

1
Prepare the Crispy Fried Onions: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced onion rings with the flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the onions in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt.
2
Heat the Hot Dogs: Grill, pan-fry, or boil the hot dogs according to package directions until heated through and slightly browned.
3
Warm the Buns: Warm the hot dog buns in a steamer, oven, or microwave until soft and pliable.
4
Assemble the Hot Dogs: Place a hot dog in each bun. Top with remoulade, mustard, and ketchup. Sprinkle generously with crispy fried onions and add the sliced or diced pickled cucumbers.
5
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For a more authentic Danish experience, use Medisterpølse or Frankfurter-style hot dogs.

If you don't have time to make crispy fried onions, you can use store-bought.

Adjust the amount of toppings to your preference.

Consider adding a sprinkle of raw finely chopped onions for extra bite.
