Lori's Campfire Potatoes

Ingredients

2 teaspoons coarse salt

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

4 small (6-ounce) potatoes

unpeeled

2 tablespoons olive oil

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill or bring a campfire to medium heat (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F).

Step 2

Mix together salt Italian seasoning pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Pierce potatoes in several places with tines of a fork. Rub about 1 1/2 teaspoons oil onto each potato then rub evenly with spice mixture. Put each potato onto a 12x12-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Wrap foil around potatoes and seal edges tightly then wrap each packet with another sheet of foil.

Step 3

Grill packets or nestle them into hot embers rotating every 5 minutes until potato flesh is soft about 25 minutes total. (Carefully open 1 packet to check doneness with a fork. The potato's skin crisps during cooking so you can't tell just by squeezing it.) Let rest 10 minutes before opening. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Step 4

To cook it indoors: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare packets (skip the extra layer of foil) and transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until potatoes are softened about 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before opening.
