Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a beginner, this recipe is perfect for anyone looking to add some cheesy goodness to their outdoor cooking experience. So, let’s gather around the campfire and get started!
Ingredients:
– 4 medium-sized potatoes
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup diced onion
– 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Aluminum foil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire
First, make sure you have a well-established campfire with hot coals. You’ll want a good bed of glowing coals rather than open flames for even cooking. Give the fire some time to settle if needed.
2. Clean and Slice the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and remove any dirt or blemishes. Leave the skin on for added flavor and texture. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Make sure the slices are even so they cook evenly.
3. Assemble the Foil Packets
Take a large piece of aluminum foil and place it on a flat surface. Place a handful of potato slices in the center of the foil. Add a sprinkle of diced onions and bell peppers to the potatoes. Sprinkle some minced garlic, salt, and pepper for added flavor. Finally, add a tablespoon of butter and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Seal the Foil Packets
Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold them over to meet in the center. Fold the edges securely to seal the packet, creating a tight seal to prevent juices from leaking. Repeat this process for each foil packet.
5. Cook Over the Campfire
Carefully place the foil packets directly on the hot coals of the campfire. Make sure they are not too close to the flames to avoid burning. Let the potatoes cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes become tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Flip the packets once or twice during cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Using oven mitts or tongs, carefully remove the foil packets from the campfire and let them cool for a minute or two. Unwrap the packets, being cautious of the steam that may escape. The cheesy aroma will tantalize your senses! Serve the campfire cheesy potatoes as a side dish with grilled meat, or enjoy them alone.
Campfire cheesy potatoes are a crowd-pleasing dish that will elevate your camping experience. The combination of tender potatoes, melted cheese, and flavorful vegetables creates a mouthwatering dish that is easy to prepare in the great outdoors.
