Yield:
4 packets

Ingredients

  • 3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4 inch slices

  • 3 cups 1-inch bell pepper pieces

  • 4 links cooked chicken sausage (12 ounces), cut into 1/2 inch slices

  • 2 cups sliced onions

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Combine potatoes, peppers, sausage, onions, oil, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Cut 8 pieces of heavy-duty foil, about 12 by 17 inches each. Coat one piece with cooking spray. Place about 2 cups of the potato mixture in the center of the coated foil and enclose like a package. Place seam-side down on a second piece of foil and enclose again so the potato mixture is wrapped in a double-thick packet. Repeat with the remaining foil and potato mixture, making 4 total packets.

  3. Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to the coals. Cook the packets 4 to 6 inches above the coals, turning once or twice, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

Tips

To make ahead: Store the assembled packets in a refrigerator or cold cooler for up to 1 day.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
