Potatoes

Cheese

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons green onions or chives, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your campfire or grill to medium heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Place the potato mixture in a cast iron skillet or aluminum foil packet.
  • Cook over the campfire or grill for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Notes

For a crispier texture, cook the potatoes in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the skillet or foil packet.
