Amazing campfire potatoes that are so easy to put together. You'll be making them all summer long!
I haven't been actual camping in forever; however, I am in love with firing up my grill during the summer. We are constantly using our grill and boy, does it taste amazing.
Using the stove-top just isn't the same, plus you do not have to worry about the oven or stove-top heating up your house.
You might also know these campfire potatoes as foil packets or potato packets - they are all the same and taste just as delicious! I kind of prefer the name to be campfire potatoes - really minds me of summer. Doesn't it?
I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend, if you are in the states! If you aren't, well, I hope you still enjoyed the weekend as well.
If you would like to, share sometime about your weekend in the comments. I love hearing about you all!
Now these campfire potatoes are a little spicy. If you are not a spicy-lover then you can just omit the cayenne and crushed red pepper flakes. If you like a little spiciness, then I recommend you just using the cayenne pepper.
The flavors will still be great!
You will want to start off with 1 and ½ pounds of potatoes and you will need to slice them. You can slice them however you would like.
Add the butter, minced garlic, the worcheshire sauce, and the spices in aluminum foil. You will want to make sure you have enough foil to completely cover the potatoes and protect the potatoes. If you need to add an extra layer on top, plus do so - that's what I did.
- 1 and ½ pounds potatoes sliced
- 2 medium garlic cloves minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
Place the sliced potatoes on top of a large piece of aluminum foil. You will want to have enough foil to wrap the potatoes tightly.
-
Add the minced garlic cloves, butter, worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes on top of the potatoes. Fold and seal the potatoes tightly.
-
Place the potato packet on top of the grill and grill for 30-35 minutes. You can also use the oven on 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes or tender with a pan under neat the packet.
I've found that using either the heavy-duty aluminum foil or a double thickness of the regular aluminum foil prevents the potatoes from burning inside and I also do a double turn on each of the edges so the packet doesn't leak. Your recipe sounds much more delicious than what I've previously done and I will try it soon. Thanks so much Chelsea!
Thanks for sharing your tips, Cynthia! Hope you are having a great week so far! 🙂
Just saying these look good would be a true understatement ~ I can almost smell them. Delicious! Thanks so much for sharing at this week's Project Inspire{d} ~ pinning 🙂
My boys love anything with worcestershire sauce - these look delicious! I think they are on my bucket list to cook this week! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you guys enjoy them!
These look great! You might want to fix the pinterest image though because it says "campire potatoes" =)
I fixed it, thank you for the heads up, Andrea!
These sound so flavorful with the Worcestershire sauce. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for coming by, Julie!
Love that these are so easy to make! My family would inhale them! 😉
These look wonderful. We are actually going camping soon, Im wondering if you (or any readers) have ever made these beforehand and let them marinate (i.e. make them the night before and just take the packets with us to cook.). Thanks for the recipe! Cant wait to try!
I haven't made it beforehand. If you do that, please let me know how it turns out! Have a great trip! 🙂
Wow, these sound delicious! I absolutely love Worcestershire sauce!
