Potato Hobo Packs

Potato Hobo Packs

Ingredients:

• 2 medium unpeeled russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 cups)
• 4 small unpeeled red potatoes, cut into fourths (about 1 1/2 cups)
• One onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions:

1. Place ingredients in a bowl and toss well to combine.
2. Make 2 stacks of TWO sheets of aluminum foil (about 18 inches long) on top of each other. Spray top sheets with cooking spray. 
3. Make a mound of potatoes and onion in the center (about half on each).  Cut butter into small pieces; add to potatoes. Sprinkle with sage, paprika, and salt. Fold foil over potatoes so edges meet. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion. Seal edges, making tight ½-inch fold; fold again. 
4. Place packs, seam side up, directly on top of the hot coals. Cook about 40 to 50 minutes, rotating packet ½ turn after about 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Remove from coals and carefully open. Serve warm. 
5. Cut large X across top of packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle with chives.

NOTE: Allow the Hobo Packs to cool a little and be careful of escaping steam!
