Campfire Potato Recipe
We make campfire potatoes almost every time we grill out or go camping. My family loves them. They’re easy to make, cleanup is quick and easy, and if happen to have any leftovers they make great fried potatoes for the next day’s breakfast.
CAMPFIRE POTATOES
Ingredients:
6-8 large potatoes, thinly sliced (if the potatoes are fresh I don’t peel them)
1 small onion finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water
Take 2 large pieces of aluminum foil and lay them over a large paper plate or dinner plate at a 90 degree angle from each other. Pour the water into the bottom of the foil (no need to measure the water - just approximate it. The water is there to keep the potatoes from burning and sticking to the bottom of the foil). Layer on the potatoes. Sprinkle with the diced onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dot the butter over the top. Fold up the first piece of foil and seal tightly. Do the same with the second piece.
Cook over the fire for 15 minutes. Turn, cook another 5-10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Serve immediately.
Note: If I have leftover or bacon, I dice it and toss it in with the potatoes for extra flavor.
