CAMPING BAKED POTATOES WITH HERBED SOUR CREAM
Steps:
- Start a wood campfire and wait until the flames die down and the coals glow red with white ash. Lower a grilling grate so that it sits above the coals and you have nice, even medium heat. Wash the potatoes well in cold water, prick each all over with the tip of a knife and rub them all over with olive oil. Rub salt all over the potatoes; this will help crisp the skin. Tightly wrap each potato in aluminum foil.
- Place the potatoes on the grill grate over red coals (medium heat) and cook about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning halfway through. (Feed the fire with more wood as needed.) When done, the tip of a paring knife will go straight through the potato without resistance (you can do this through the foil).
- In a small bowl, combine the scallions, chopped herbs and sour cream. Set aside.
- Cut the potatoes open through the foil and peel back the foil to expose the potato. Squeeze the potatoes gently from the bottom to expose the soft, fluffy insides. Season with salt and pepper, top with butter and finish with a big spoonful of the herbed sour cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use waxy potatoes such as red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't become too mushy when cooked in the campfire.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes well with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. This will help to prevent grit from getting into your food.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are making campfire potatoes in a foil packet, cut the potatoes into small pieces so that they cook through quickly.
- Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings on your campfire potatoes. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Cook the potatoes over a medium fire: This will help to prevent them from burning. If you are cooking the potatoes in a foil packet, place the packet directly on the coals. If you are cooking the potatoes on a skewer, hold the skewer over the fire until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Test the potatoes for doneness: The potatoes are done cooking when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Conclusion:
Campfire potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make campfire potatoes that are sure to be a hit at your next camping trip. So next time you're camping, don't forget to try one of these campfire potato recipes. You won't be disappointed!
