CampFire Cooking Recipes : Daddy’s Potatoes

Feed Them Dinner With Campfire Cooking

Campfire Cooking is the perfect way to prepare a meal when camping, traveling in an RV or even a staycation at home. Campfire cooking keeps the mess to a minimum and infuses the food with flavor. My husband came up with this recipe on his own while on a guy’s camping trip and they all came home talking about it. I made him make it for us the next time we were camping and now my kids ask him to make them at home all the time. They have named them Daddy’s Potatoes.
