KAREN'S RED HOT CAMPFIRE POTATOES



Karen's Red Hot Campfire Potatoes image

I came up with this recipe on a camping trip in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Potatoes, onions, and bacon are roasted in foil over an open flame. Normally I'd use olive oil, but we were in the mountains and the only source of fat/oil we had was the bacon. Turned out to be a hit and we've been making these ever since.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

aluminum foil
6 slices bacon, divided
8 small red potatoes, or more to taste, halved
1 red onion, quartered and slightly broken apart
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon chili powder
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until hot.
  • Cross two 1 1/2-foot long pieces of aluminum foil so the centers are overlapping. Place 3 strips of bacon in the center of the foil.
  • Combine potatoes, onion, red pepper flakes, and chili powder in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place potato mixture on top of the bacon slices and top with the remaining bacon slices.
  • Fold the opposite ends of the foil inward to create a packet, making sure that all open spaces are sealed.
  • Throw the packet directly on the campfire. Cook, turning as needed so the contents do not burn, until potatoes are tender and edges of the foil blacken, 45 to 60 minutes. Open packet very carefully.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small potatoes, such as fingerlings or Red Bliss, scrubbed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill until medium hot. If necessary, cut potatoes to uniform size to ensure even cooking. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Toss to combine.
  • Place potatoes on one half of a 12-by-24-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold foil over potatoes, and seal, forming a package.
  • Place package on the grill. Grill potatoes until fork-tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use firm, waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven: These cooking vessels distribute heat evenly, resulting in perfectly cooked potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the potatoes in a single layer to ensure that they brown properly.
  • Add seasonings and oil: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Toss them with a little oil to help them crisp up.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the potatoes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and browned.
  • Add butter and herbs: Once the potatoes are cooked, add butter and fresh herbs for extra flavor.
