Ingredients

5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup cheddar shredded
1/3 cup bacon pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Spray a 24” piece of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray.
Thinly slice potatoes (5) and onion (1) then place them in the middle of the foil. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Thinly slice the butter (2 tablespoons) and place it on top of the potatoes.
Top potatoes with cheddar (1 cup) and bacon (1/3 cup) pieces.
Fold the foil up over the potatoes and fold in the edges to make a foil pack
Place over the fire or grill on medium heat and cook for 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the potatoes.

Notes

Cook time: will vary depending on the thickness of the potatoes and the heat of the campfire.
Cast iron pan: This can also be cooked in a cast-iron pan over a campfire if you forgot to pack the foil!
Hot Steam: Open foil squares carefully, away from your face, because the packets will build up a good amount of steam. Steam burns are NO JOKE! Because of this, I don’t let little ones open packets.
