Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1 medium potato, scrubbed with clean vegetable brush under running water
- 2 teaspoons oil - olive, canola, vegetable, etc.
- 1 Tablespoon shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Dice potato evenly. Place the potatoes on a piece of heavy-duty foil.
- Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with cheese, salt and pepper or other toppings as desired.
- Fold foil up around potatoes. Seal the edges of foil well. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Notes:
- Feel free to add additional toppings such as sliced or diced onion, fresh or dried herbs (basil, chives, etc.), bacon bits, etc.
- Try to prepare as much in advance of your camping trip as possible such as shredding cheese and dicing onions. Place ingredients in plastic bags and keep cold in coolers until ready to use.
- Building a variety of vegetables and meat on skewers to be grilled or cooked over the campfire, can be another fun opportunity for children to help prepare a meal. Kids can learn more about the foods they eat and how to be safe when cooking. Be sure to review food safety with your child in any cooking environment.
