This is a recipe that is just as delicious at home as it is camping though there is something thoroughly wonderful about the combination of camping and eating. You can vary the seasoning by using different herbs or spices or just serve them plain with oil, salt and pepper.

Ingredients:

• 4 small baking potatoes or 4 medium-sized new potatoes, scrubbed
  
• 2 tsps. extra virgin olive oil
  
• ½ tsp. sea salt, if desired
  
• ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper, if desired
  
• Heavy duty aluminum foil
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare barbecue or camp coals to medium to high heat.
   
2. Slice potatoes across into ¼ inch thickness.
   
3. Place sliced potatoes in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of oil over each potato, separating the sliced potatoes slightly to allow some of the oil to get between the slices. Season with salt and pepper if desired, and curl up sides of aluminum foil to make a snug pouch.
   
4. Place potato pouches on rack of barbecue or the campfire and cook for 10-15 minutes.
   
5. Let cool before unwrapping and serving.
