Vegetarian Camp Taters campfire recipe outdoor cooking potatoes rustic comforting cozy meal

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, cooked bacon, chopped green onions

Instructions

Prepare your campfire or outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. If using a campfire, make sure you have a grate or suitable surface for cooking.
Slice each potato into thin rounds, taking care to keep the slices uniform in thickness. Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
While the potatoes are soaking, heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over the fire. Add the olive oil, sliced onions, chopped bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Saute the vegetables until they are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Add the potatoes to the skillet with the sauteed vegetables. Season the mixture with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and let the Camp Taters cook over the campfire for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the skillet from the fire. If desired, top the Camp Taters with shredded cheese, cooked bacon, or chopped green onions for extra flavor and indulgence.
Serve the Camp Taters hot directly from the skillet, allowing everyone to dig in and enjoy these savory and satisfying potato slices. The combination of flavors from the sauteed vegetables and seasonings make this dish a delightful addition to any outdoor meal.
