KAREN'S RED HOT CAMPFIRE POTATOES



Karen's Red Hot Campfire Potatoes image

I came up with this recipe on a camping trip in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Potatoes, onions, and bacon are roasted in foil over an open flame. Normally I'd use olive oil, but we were in the mountains and the only source of fat/oil we had was the bacon. Turned out to be a hit and we've been making these ever since.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

aluminum foil
6 slices bacon, divided
8 small red potatoes, or more to taste, halved
1 red onion, quartered and slightly broken apart
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon chili powder
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until hot.
  • Cross two 1 1/2-foot long pieces of aluminum foil so the centers are overlapping. Place 3 strips of bacon in the center of the foil.
  • Combine potatoes, onion, red pepper flakes, and chili powder in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place potato mixture on top of the bacon slices and top with the remaining bacon slices.
  • Fold the opposite ends of the foil inward to create a packet, making sure that all open spaces are sealed.

These 'taters are delicious and perfect for a camping trip. Don't forget to dress them up with sour cream, chives, and crumbled bacon. Be sure to use small potatoes, which cook through over an open fire better than larger ones.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 small (6-ounce) potatoes, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or bring a campfire to medium heat (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F).
  • Mix together salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Pierce potatoes in several places with tines of a fork. Rub about 1 1/2 teaspoons oil onto each potato, then rub evenly with spice mixture. Put each potato onto a 12x12-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Wrap foil around potatoes and seal edges tightly, then wrap each packet with another sheet of foil.
  • Grill packets, or nestle them into hot embers, rotating every 5 minutes, until potato flesh is soft, about 25 minutes total. (Carefully open 1 packet to check doneness with a fork. The potato's skin crisps during cooking, so you can't tell just by squeezing it.) Let rest 10 minutes before opening. Serve with your favorite toppings.
  • To cook it indoors: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare packets (skip the extra layer of foil) and transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until potatoes are softened, about 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before opening.
