Open Fire Baked Potato


Weston Fling

Baking potatoes over an open fire gives them a delicious smoky flavor and a crispy skin. Its a simple and rustic way to enjoy this classic side dish while camping or cooking outdoors.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions:

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly

Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking

Place each potato on a piece of aluminum foil

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato and season with salt to taste

Wrap each potato tightly in foil, ensuring no gaps

Place the wrapped potatoes directly onto the hot coals of an open fire

Cook for about 45-60 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork

Carefully remove the potatoes from the fire using tongs

Unwrap the foil and serve the potatoes hot, optionally topped with additional butter or toppings of your choice
