Ingredients

servings

  • Foil packs

    • 800 g Potatoes
    • 50 g Butter
    • 2 fed Garlic
    • 1 tsk Salt
    • 0.5 tsk Black pepper
    • 1 spsk Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the potatoes

    1. Scrub the potatoes. Small ones can stay whole; cut larger ones into chunks.
    2. Crush or chop the garlic. Cut the butter into small cubes (or soften it briefly near the heat), and mix with garlic, salt and pepper.

    Wrap in foil

    1. Divide the potatoes into 2–4 portions. Place each portion on sturdy foil (preferably double layer), and spread the garlic butter on top.
    2. Seal each pack tightly so the steam stays inside. A double layer is fine in strong coals.

    Bake in the coals

    1. Place the packs in the coals – not in open flames. Turn them a couple of times.
    2. Bake 35–50 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Open carefully for steam.
    3. Scatter parsley over if you have it, and serve hot.

Suggestions

  • • Serve hot straight from the foil or pan.

Storage

Fresh

  • • Duration: 1 days
  • • Temperature: 5°C
  • • Method: Best eaten the same day. Cool leftovers and keep in the fridge for up to a day.

Frozen

  • • Duration: 30 days
  • • Temperature: -18°C
  • • Method: Leftovers can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge, then warm gently.

Reheating

  • • Pot: Warm gently in a pot or pan over low heat.

Tips

Preparation

  • • Use heavy foil, or two layers – it holds up better in the coals.

Cooking

  • • Coals give even heat. Flames scorch the foil without softening the middle.

Serving

  • • Open the pack like a bowl so the butter gathers at the bottom.

Variations

Flavor

  • Add a sprig of rosemary or thyme in the pack.

Health

  • Use a little less butter for a lighter pack.

Method

  • Without butter: 2 spsk oil and garlic also work.

Toppings

  • Flaky salt
