Steps:

• Cut 12 (12x16") pieces of heavy-duty foil. Layer 2 pieces of foil on top of each other to create 6 stacks. Line top pieces of foil with parchment paper cut to the same size.
• Toss scallions, potatoes, sausage, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Divide mixture among prepared packs, arranging in the center of each piece of parchment. Bring edges of foil together to enclose each pack, covering completely, then crimp to seal packs closed.
• Prepare a campfire or grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Let coals burn until covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining.
• Place packs side by side directly onto hot coals or grill and cook, rotating with tongs occasionally, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove 1 pack from heat and check if ingredients are steaming hot. If necessary, return pack to coals and continue to cook, 5-10 minutes more.
• Transfer packs with tongs to a flat surface and carefully open them (they will be full of hot steam). Top each pack with spinach, then crack 1 egg into the center of each and season with salt and pepper. Reseal, return to coals, and cook until egg whites are opaque but yolks are still runny, 4-5 minutes.
• Carefully remove packs from coals, open, and sprinkle with cheddar, if using. Serve immediately.
• Do Ahead
• Packs can be assembled and chilled for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
• Cooks' Note
• Packs can be prepared in an oven. Preheat to 450°F and place packs on rimmed baking sheets. Bake until steaming hot, about 15 minutes if packs were refrigerated and about 30 minutes if baking frozen packs (no need to defrost). Carefully open packs (they will be full of hot steam), top each pack with spinach, crack 1 egg into the center of each, season with salt and pepper, and reseal. Return to oven and cook until egg whites are opaque but yolks are still runny, 4-5 minutes more. Top with cheddar, if using. Serve immediately.

ARIZONA HOBO POTATOES

Steps:

• Grills vary widely, so you may need to experiment with the heat setting. For my propane grill, I use medium-high heat, or even high heat, high enough to sear/brown the meat dish when I throw them on the grill.).
• Wash potatoes and cut into slices 1/4 inch or so with skin intact.
• Slice onion into thin slices, then separate into rings.
• On heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18" to 24" long, put in the center a layer of potatoes (leaving plenty of foil on each side and each end to fold and seal the packet).
• Follow with a layer of onion rings.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic (powder, or freshly minced).
• Repeat layers, dotting each second layer with butter.
• Wrap the foil securely around the layers. Should make a packet about 15"-18" long and 10" wide.
• Put the foil package on the grill about 45 minutes to an hour before the intended serving time. (These can also be prepared as described, but placing the packet in a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. Or in the oven. Be creative!).

JAMIE'S GRILLED HOBO POTATOES

• 2. Place the bacon in the skillet and drizzle a little olive oil on the skillet to prevent the bacon from wanting to stick.
• 3. When bacon is done take up and add the grated garlic, let cook a few seconds'
• 4. Wash the potatoes well and remove any bad spots but do not need to peel. With a mandolin or if you can do this by hand, slice the potatoes in circles.
• 5. Slice the onion up in slices loose.
• 6. Now add the potatoes in the pan then the onion. Salt and pepper to taste. I like to add a little red pepper too. Let cook stirring them often and do not allow to burn. Add the bacon back whole when the potatoes a feeling tender. As potatoes are cooking stir and keep it up so not to burn and if need add a little more olive oil, depending on how much your bacon grease renders in pan.
• 7. Continue to cook and while stirring begin to cut the potatoes with the side of your spoon in half along with cutting the bacon up too with side of spoon. Keep stirring till very tender and done. They should look like these when ready.
• 8. Cooking time will very from charcoal cooker. It will depend on how heavy you put on the coals and how far the skillet is from the coals. My complete time on the bacon was 5 minutes and the rest took about 45 minutes to finish.
