Fire up your campfire and get ready to enjoy these mouthwatering campfire potatoes. Whether RV camping or having a backyard bonfire, this recipe is simple yet packed with savory flavors everyone will love.
Ingredients:
– 4-5 large potatoes, washed and diced (leave the skin on for added texture)
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for added smokiness)
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Aluminum foil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire:
– Start your campfire and allow it to burn down to hot coals. Alternatively, preheat your grill over medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Foil Packets:
– Tear off large pieces of aluminum foil, enough to wrap each serving of potatoes.
– Place a handful of diced potatoes on each piece of foil.
3. Season the Potatoes:
– Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes.
– Sprinkle minced garlic, sliced onion, paprika (if using), dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly over the potatoes.
4. Wrap and Cook:
– Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet.
– Place the foil packets directly onto the hot coals of the campfire or onto the preheated grill.
5. Cook Until Tender:
– Cook the foil packets for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the heat of your campfire or grill. Flip the packets halfway through cooking for even heat distribution.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
– Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and transfer the savory campfire potatoes to a serving dish.
– Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot alongside your favorite grilled meats or as a delicious vegetarian main dish.
Tips for Success:
– Customize your campfire potatoes by adding chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or cheese before sealing the foil packets.
– Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to prevent juices from leaking during cooking.
– Adjust cooking time based on the size of your potato dice and the intensity of your campfire or grill heat.
