Campfire Potatoes

lb. mini Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered

olive oil

garlic powder

oregano

Kosher salt

black pepper

c. mozzarella

c. Parmesan

parsley,

red pepper flakes,

I make these all the time! Love them. But I always have to precook them in the microwave first to soften them up. Then they dont take very long in the oven or on the grill.

Would have liked to have them work. I baked them in the oven at 425 for about 40 minutes and still too hard to eat.  15 minutes was not even close. Try 425 for an hour.  Well that was my experience.

I made 2 batches of these tonight as they were such a hit!  After reading the reviews; I was concerned about cooking time and put them on the grill way before our steaks.  As it turns out--there was no need for any concern.  I substituted with red potatoes & cheddar cheese, and eliminated the parmesan. The first batch was grilled 10 minutes each side and was fine, but definitely into the roasted range.  I did the second batch at 8 minutes each side, and it was perfect.  These potatoes are an excellent side dish--FAST & EASY.  They are delicious as is or served with sour cream.  Next time, I think that I'll add some cooked bacon to the packets as well.  Definitely, a keeper recipe!

Campfire Baked Potatoes

potatoes

onion

garlic

salt

tbsp butter

dry basil (optional)

dry oregano (optional)

peppers (optional)

bacon pieces (optional)

cheese (mozzarella, cheddar jack

Build a campfire and allow to burn down to coals

Place each clean washed potato onto a separate piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to wrap each potato

Apply plenty of salt and pepper to the potatoes.  Don’t forget that potatoes absorb salt to the extent that they require a good deal of salt while cooking, to actually taste salty. 

Cut the onion into slices and mince garlic cloves.  Slice each potato lengthwise 3/4 of the way through.

Pile the onion and garlic mixture into the cut part of the potato adding the excess on top.

Optional:  Add sliced peppers or/and oregano, basil, or cooked bacon pieces.  And/or grate cheese and set aside.

Wrap the potato with the foil sealing completely.   Place in campfire coals using  Long camping tongs for safety.

 Each campfire potato should be turned every 10 minutes or so about a quarter turn each time for about 40 minutes total.  Remove from the fire with tongs and allow to cool slightly prior to carefully opening up the foil.

Drop sliced butter onto the meat of the potato.  And at this time you could also add cheese, bacon, oregano, basil if you didn&#x27;t prior to baking.

Serve on camping tin plates strong enough to hold these potatoes
