Sausage and Potato Campfire Packets

Source of Recipe

From "Taste of Home American Summer Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"My family enjoys camping and cooking over a fire. These hearty packets turn out beautifully over a campfire, on the grill, or in the oven at home. We sometimes leave out the sausage and serve the potatoes as a side dish. Either way, it's so easy, and the spuds can be served right from the foil pouch for easy cleanup."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
â—¦ 2 packages (12 ounces each) smoked sausage links, cut into ½-inch slices
â—¦ 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
â—¦ 1 medium onion, chopped
â—¦ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon pepper
â—¦ Additional chopped fresh parsley, optional


Recipe

Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with sausage, bacon, onion, parsley, salts and pepper.

Divide mixture among eight 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty nonstick foil, placing food on dull side of foil. Fold foil around potato mixture, sealing tightly.

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.
