Description
Cheesy Campfire Potatoes are a delicious outdoor dish featuring tender baby potatoes, aromatic onions, and gooey cheddar cheese, all cooked to perfection in a foil packet over the campfire.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1. Prepare the Foil Packet: Place two large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (at least 20 inches long) crossed over each other.
2. Assemble the Potatoes: In the center of the foil, place the halved or quartered baby potatoes and the thinly sliced onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the diced butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
3. Add Broth and Seal: Carefully fold the foil sides up to form a “bowl,” pour the chicken broth over the potato mixture, then seal the foil pouch tightly so no liquid leaks.
4. Cook: Place the foil packet on a grill over medium heat (or directly on the coals) and cook for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Be cautious when opening – hot steam will escape.
5. Serve: Open the foil pouch or transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, and enjoy this cheesy, buttery side dish perfect for the campfire (or grill/oven).
Notes
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Ensure the foil packet is sealed tightly to retain moisture.
Cooking times may vary based on potato size and heat source.
