We have been having a great summer with lots of outdoor cooking both at home and while traveling in the RV. These easy, delicious potatoes are perfect whether made on a gas grill, over a campfire, or on a charcoal fire. They are the perfect side for whatever else is being cooked up, and the leftovers make great fried potatoes in the morning.

Property of A Day in the Life on the Farm
I love campfire potatoes. I used to make them a lot when we camped. Heck, I've even cooked them in the coals of the campfire. A slightly different way to cook them, but oh so delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are.
DeleteOooh, I love the addition of the onion, Wendy! I'd be sure to make extra just for the leftovers the next morning.
ReplyDeleteI love foil packet meals, so nostalgic from when we were first married, and from camping with the folks. Potatoes and onions are best buds. This is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly.
DeletePerfect dish for camping!
ReplyDeleteYes, for any meal.
DeleteIt's been ages since I baked potatoes in foil over charcoal. We did this often when I was growing up. Back then we hardly used foil but my mum had a tin pan in which we would put the potatoes, cover with a lid and allow them to cook over the charcoal fire.
ReplyDeleteGlad I coulid conjour up some happy food memories, Mayuri.
DeleteMy Mom would always make potatoes on the grill in foil...and they were always so good...when she didn't burn them. Mom did manage to burn a lot of things...but these look like perfection!
ReplyDeleteA little char never hurts anyone but I find adding the broth helps prevent it.
