Mmm…mmm…mmm…I love potatoes! They are nutritious, resistant to spoiling, and most importantly, they taste delicious when prepared with this recipe!
Stoke up the campfire and follow along as I share the “secret” to preparing the perfect camping home fries!
- 4-5 Medium Potatoes Sliced into ¾” Cubes
- ½ Cup of Chopped Onions
- 1 Table Spoon of Basil
- 1 Tea Spoon of Pepper
- 1 Tea Spoon of Salt
- 1 Tea Spoon of Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Table Spoons of Olive Oil (Vegetable or Canola works too!)
*approximately 4 servings
Coat your pan with the olive oil and bring it to temperature over your campfire or grill.
Dump the potatoes in the pan and turn them over every 5 minutes or so until they start to brown (this usually takes 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your grill/fire).
Once the potatoes begin to brown, stir in the onions, basil, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to stir every few minutes until the potatoes are a nice golden brown.
Total cooking time is approximately 30-35 minutes.
Tip: To speed up the prep time, you can pre-chop your potatoes and onions at home and pack them in an airtight container to bring with you.

Yum, those sound good. I’m from northern Mich. but I bet it is similar to Maine. I have some good recipes on my site as well. The best ones are simple but tasty and easily done in a camping setting.
