Two variations of the recipe already given for potatoes in the fire that my family has always enjoyed. Not too heart healthy but very enjoyable for a camping dinner with easy mixin' and fixin'.......and no clean up at all.

Plan A - Take a large sheet of heavy duty foil and spray lightly with pam. Wash and cube 4-5 potatoes into the foil. Salt and pepper to taste and perhaps sprinkle with a little paprika if you have it in your camping kitchen. Add a medium to large thinly sliced onion and toss around into the potatoes and lastly, take three or four (or more depending on the amount of potatoes used) slices of bacon and cut into pieces and add to the above. Firmly wrap in another large layer of foil and lay on the coals and then turn about every ten minutes for about a half hour or so, depending on your coals. Do turn regularly though because the bacon acts as a flavoring of it's own and really does add to the taste of the potatoes and you want the bacon fat to distribute itself throughout the potatoes.

Left-overs, should there be any, are a great addition to the am bacon and eggs.

Plan B - Wash and half long-wise enough baking potatoes for your family. Salt and pepper them and put a thick chunk of onion in between along with a pat or two of butter or margarine and then put them together again and double wrap each one in heavy duty foil and lay on the coals, turning every 10 - 15 minutes for about 45 minutes and then throw the steak or whatever onto the grill. By the time the steaks are done, the potatoes are ready as well and they are delicious and even more so when the outer skins are slightly on the char-grilled side.
