Equipment

Heavy-duty foil
Tongs
fire grate or grill

Ingredients

2 small Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced
3 oz smoked salmon (lox-style) torn into pieces
2 tbsp red onion thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh dill chopped, or 1 tsp dried dill
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs optional, for serving

Instructions

Tear two large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide potato slices between the sheets, spread out in a thin layer.
Top potatoes with smoked salmon, red onion, and dill. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Fold foil over and crimp edges tightly to seal.
Place packets on a grate over medium campfire coals or on a grill. Cook for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until potatoes are tender.
If adding eggs, carefully open packets after 15 minutes, crack an egg into each, reseal, and cook another 5 minutes until set.
Open packets carefully (watch for steam) and serve hot right from the foil.

Notes

Prep veggies and portion salmon at home for a fast start. Packets can go right on the coals—just rotate for even cooking. Foil keeps cleanup effortless. Serve with crusty bread or greens for a full meal.
