Steps:
- In a large cast-iron skillet, bring 1/4 cup oil, potato, and 3/4 cup water to a boil directly over campfire coals or medium-high heat; season generously with salt. Boil until water mostly evaporates and potato begins to sizzle.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and chorizo; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and golden brown in places, 12 to 15 minutes. Push hash to one side of skillet; drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil into empty side. Crack in eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook until egg whites are just set, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For campfire breakfast potatoes, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes are the best choice. They hold their shape well and won't fall apart when cooked over the campfire.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too big, they may not cook all the way through, and if they're too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Use a cast iron skillet or a Dutch oven: These types of cookware distribute heat evenly and can withstand the high temperatures of a campfire.
- Add some aromatics: Onion, garlic, and bell peppers are all great additions to campfire breakfast potatoes. They add flavor and depth to the dish.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and paprika are all essential seasonings for campfire breakfast potatoes. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. Be patient and stir the potatoes occasionally so that they cook on all sides.
- Serve the potatoes hot: Campfire breakfast potatoes are best served hot out of the skillet or Dutch oven. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Campfire breakfast potatoes are a delicious and easy way to start your day while camping. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and flavorful breakfast that will fuel your adventures. So next time you're camping, be sure to give campfire breakfast potatoes a try!
