Equipment

  • Heavy-duty foil
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large lemon zested and juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Place cut potatoes in the center of a large sheet of heavy-duty foil.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Fold foil into a tightly sealed packet, folding all edges to prevent leaks.
  • Place packet directly on hot campfire coals or grill grates. Cook for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway, until potatoes are fork-tender and golden.
  • Open carefully (steam will release), garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

Notes

Prep potatoes at home and store in a zipper bag for quick assembly. To protect from burning, double-wrap foil and avoid placing directly in high flames.
