Campfire Fried Potatoes

A camping recipe from Karen Henton. I actually learned this recipe in my backyard when my friend Irene come for a cookout. She showed me how to do this. I have used this as a side for breakfast meals while camping and as a side for dinners. The bacon gives the potatoes a distinctive flavor you will not get from your home stove.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• sliced potatoes, enough for 4 people
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 6 slices of bacon
• salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Roll out two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to hold a mound of potatoes. Lay 3 slices of bacon long ways on the foil, layer potatoes and onions, then for the last layer lay 3 slices of bacon on top. Salt and pepper each layer as you desire. Roll out two more sheets of foil unless you are using heavy duty foil, and lay over the potatoes and on all four sides roll the foil up tight. You can turn that foil over when you think the one side is done. Lay foil pack on grill or over campfire coals and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. When potatoes are tender unfold foil, scope out onto a serving plate, and serve.
