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.
