The recursive call inside your function should call the undecorated  
function, not the decorated function again. Decorator syntax is not  
convenient anymore.

Using the same names as in the recipe example:


# a recursive function
def my_slow_function(n):
   ...
   return my_slow_function(n-1)


my_profiled_slow_function = hotshotit(my_slow_function)
my_profiled_slow_function(n)


This works, in the sense that it does not raise ProfileError anymore.  
Interpreting profile data is up to you...
