Note
- Potatoes: You can use any type of potato you like for this recipe. I would recommend using a waxy potato, such as a red or new potato, as they hold their shape well when sliced and cooked.
- Pickled cucumbers: Pickled cucumbers, also known as pickles, add a tangy, crunchy element to the flatbreads. You can use store-bought pickles or make your own at home.
- Hot dogs: You can use any type of hot dog you like in this recipe. I would recommend using a high-quality hot dog, such as an all-beef or all-pork hot dog, for the best flavor.
- For the Finnish flatbreads: Finnish flatbreads, also known as rye crispbreads, are a type of thin, crispy bread made with rye flour.
