Description
Cheesy Campfire Potatoes are the ultimate outdoor side dish, perfect for summer cookouts and cozy campfire gatherings. With a delightful blend of melted cheddar, garlic, and tender baby potatoes, they are sure to steal the show.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered into ½ inch pieces
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 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 on a flat surface.
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 the top.
3. Add Broth and Seal: Carefully fold the foil sides up to form a “bowl,” then pour the chicken broth over the potato mixture. Seal the foil pouch tightly, ensuring no liquid can escape.
4. Cook the Potatoes: Place the sealed foil packet on a grill preheated to medium heat (or directly on the hot coals of a campfire) and cook for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Be cautious when opening the packet, as hot steam will escape.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully open the foil pouch or transfer the Cheesy Campfire Potatoes to a serving dish, and enjoy this delicious, melty side dish!
Notes
Choose small, waxy baby potatoes for best texture.
Make sure to seal the foil packet tightly to prevent leaks.
Adjust cooking time based on your heat source.
Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties or herbs.
