Halv special

Halv special is a Swedish hot dog variety that consists of a standard hot dog, but with a twist – it's covered in mashed potatoes. The word halv means half, but there's also a version called hel special, with hel meaning whole, referring to the fact that there are two sausages instead of just the one. The hot dogs are often additionally topped with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, and roasted onions. Sometimes, the customers can decide whether the sausage(s) will be grilled or boiled (or perhaps one of each in hel special). Halv and hel special are commonly paired with chocolate milk called Pucko.
