My family enjoys camping and cooking over a fire. These hearty foil-packet potatoes turn out beautifully over a campfire, on the grill or in the oven at home. —Julie Koets, Elkhart, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 packages (12 ounces each) smoked sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Additional chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

  1. Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with sausage, bacon, onion, parsley, salts and pepper.
  2. Divide mixture among eight 18x12-in. pieces of heavy-duty nonstick foil, placing food on dull side of foil. Fold foil around potato mixture, sealing tightly.
  3. Place packets over campfire or grill; cook 15 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. If desired, sprinkle with additional parsley.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Change up the flavor with other types of fully cooked sausage like spinach and feta chicken sausage.
  • If you don't have heavy-duty foil on hand, use a double thickness of regular foil.
