Poorman's Meal is a classic American dish from the Great Depression made of fried potatoes and sliced hot dogs. It was popularized by Clara Cannucciari, who lived through the Depression, remembered the dish and made popular videos about it. The food is easy to make from a few inexpensive ingredients: potatoes are cut into small pieces and fried in a pan with onions, tomato sauce and some water are added, and the hot dog slices go in later.
