FOIL-PACKET POTATOES AND SAUSAGE

Foil-Packet Potatoes and Sausage image

My family enjoys camping and cooking over a fire. These hearty foil-packet potatoes turn out beautifully over a campfire, on the grill or in the oven at home. We sometimes leave out the sausage and serve the potatoes as a side dish. Either way, it's so easy, and the spuds can be served right from the foil pouch for easy cleanup. The recipe also tastes amazing when cooked in a Dutch oven. -Julie Koets, Elkhart, Indiana
