A camping recipe from Mary Laney. This has become a favorite camping recipe, not only with family and friends, but with my Boy Scouts too.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • large baking potatoes (one for every 2 people)
  • butter flavored cooking spray
  • garlic salt
  • seasoned salt

Preparation:

Scrub potatoes well and cut in half lengthwise. Place one half on a square of foil. Regular foil will do, if it is being cooked in an oven, but use heavy duty foil for cooking on a grill or in hot coals. Spray both sides of potato half with cooking spray. Then, with cut side facing up, sprinkle with garlic and seasoned salt. Wrap the foil up around the potato half and cook until potato is soft. If cooking in hot coals, be sure to turn it over every few minutes to prevent burning.

Servings: as needed
Preparation time: 25 minutes
