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 in the oven or over a campfire.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes well with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from exploding in the oven or over the campfire.
- Coat the potatoes in oil: Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan or foil.
- Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the potatoes until tender: Bake the potatoes in the oven at 400°F for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. If cooking over a campfire, cook the potatoes for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve the potatoes hot: Campfire potatoes are best served hot, with a dollop of sour cream or butter and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
