Campfire Potatoes

By Addie

We like grilling because it's a no-fuss way to make a meal. This pleasing potato recipe is one we use often! The onion, cheddar cheese and Worscestershire sauce combine to make a super side dish for any grilled meat. Plus, cooking in the foil makes cleanup a breeze. —JoAnn Dettbarn, Brainerd, Minnesota

Made these several times. Very easy and taste so good.

This is scalloped potatoes at their best. Not like gran's but excellent.

I do potatoes similar to this (minus onion) on the bbq quite often. I also do them in the oven if the weather is poor, but they do turn out the crispiest on the bbq. I grate my potatoes on the largest hole of my box grater, then toss them in a half olive oil, half melted butter, & chopped garlic mixture before addding them to the foil. Before sealing the foil, I add a sprinkle of kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper for seasoning, a few more sprinkles of olive oil, and occassionally I'll add a bit of chopped fresh mint, or parsley.

They're very good!

This recipe sounds delicious.. I cooked the "campfire potatoes" on an actual campfire. I dont know what went wrong but they tasted so bad I couldnt even eat them.

These are the best! Been making since I discovered the recipe years ago in Taste of home, everyone always asks for these.

I make these all the time. Always a big hit.

I was disappointed...not much flavor. If I made it again I would double or even triple the cheese mixture.

I didn't have enough space on the grill so I put it all in a 9x9 square baking dish. I baked it covered at 350 for 45 minutes, then removed the foil for a 10 minutes. Excellent!

Seeing as that my husband and daughter are meat and potatoes people they LOVED this. I do not care for potatoes in the least but I actually went back for seconds!

I've been making this for years. It's a very easy and fun side dish.

I have been making these for years, since I first saw the recipe in TOH. Our entire family loves them! I don't grill mine; I cover them with foil and bake for 40 minutes on 425 degrees, then take the foil off and cook another 5 or 10 minutes.

We love this recipe, I do the same in the oven. The onions and minced jalapenos makes it really pop

I have been makikng this recipe for probably 15-16 yrs, since I first found it in TOH. It is wonderful cooked over a campfire and my pickiest eaters always want more! Thanks for sharing this with us!

On the grill or in the oven, these are awesome as is and I wouldn't change a thing.

Great side-dish just as written! :)

I made this recipe for my family. Everyone, even our picky eater, loved it! I'm surely going to make this again!

This was a wonderful recipe! Delicious!

The directions say to fold foil up around potatoes and add broth. I'm sure the broth adds flavor and moisture to help the potatoes cook.

I make this also but add bacon.
