Thursday, 29 October 2009
Ingredients:

    * 1 Potato per person (size depends on appetite)
    * 1/4 Onion per serving (diced or sliced)
    * 1 Tblsp margarine per serving
    * Salt and pepper to taste if desired

   


Directions:
Slice potatoes (like potato chips only thicker) - either slice or dice your onion. Take a piece of sturdy aluminum foil and put potatoes first, then onions, and top with a pat of margarine, salt, and pepper. Completely wrap ingredients. When coals or campfire is hot, place directly by coals before you start your burgers or brats (The aluminum foil should not have any holes in it). CAREFULLY check potatoes for tenderness after 10-15 minutes.

KIDS: A parent/adult should check the potatoes and also unwrap them when done - these get very hot and you wouldn't want to cut the camping trip short with scorched fingers or eyebrows.
