Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 lbs small potatoes, like red bliss or fingerlings,scrubbed clean
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 cloves garlic, peeled

Steps:

Before leaving the house, put oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic in a large ziploc bag.
At the campsite, heat a grill to medium hot.
If potatoes are not all the same size, cut them into pieces to achieve uniform size-- this ensures that the potatoes will cook evenly.
Toss potatoes into the ziploc bag with the seasonings, zip and shake to coat!
Tip the mixture onto a large piece of aluminum foil (12-by 24-inch); bring the sides up and fold to make a sealed package.
Place package on grill and leave for about 45 minutes until potatoes are fork tender, then serve.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked over the campfire.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
Poke the potatoes with a fork: This will help them cook more evenly.
Wrap the potatoes in foil: This will help them cook more quickly and evenly. You can also use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven to cook the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes over a medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
Check the potatoes regularly: Once the potatoes are tender, they are done cooking.
Season the potatoes to taste: You can use salt, pepper, butter, sour cream, or your favorite seasonings.
Serve the potatoes hot: Campfire potatoes are best enjoyed when they are hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Campfire potatoes are a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for any camping trip. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're planning a camping trip, be sure to add campfire potatoes to your menu. You won't be disappointed!
