Sausage and Potato Foil Packets
Make these easy, inexpensive, flavor-packed sausage and potato foil packets on your grill or over the campfire for a classic camping meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 18 ounces (500 g) baby potatoes (about 24) quartered
- ½ medium red onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 14 ounces (400 g) smoked sausage cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 teaspoons butter cut into 4 pieces
- Sour cream or hot sauce to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a grill for medium heat (375°F | 190°C) or a bed of hot coals in a campfire.
- Combine the potatoes, onion, oil, and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper and stir again.
- Mix in the sausage.
- Arrange four double layers of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Divide the sausage mixtures evenly among the four pieces of foil. Top each one with a pat of butter.
- Fold the foil up to create four individual foil packets.
- Cook over medium heat, avoiding strong direct flame, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is developing crisped edges, about 30 minutes.
- Carefully open the foil packets to let the steam release, then serve, topped with sour cream and/or hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Double up--Use a double layer of foil when creating your foil packet to prevent any juices from leaking out.
- Avoid strong flame--Don't cook your foil packet over a strong direct flame as this can cause the potatoes and sausage to burn. Use hot coals or a low flame on the grill.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets.
