Description
On a winter evening, we cook baked potatoes in the oven, and in summer it's time to bake potatoes on a fire, in nature. Hot, fragrant, with a smoky and crumbly middle, such potatoes even without the addition of kebabs - delicious dish in the world!
You can just bake in coals, but now I suggest cooking potatoes in foil on a fire: this way its peel will remain clean, not smeared with soot; the tubers will bake more evenly, and the cooking time will decrease.
Ingredients:
- Potatoes - 2-3 pieces per person;
- Salt, vegetable oil for submission.
Instruction:
To begin with, we make a fire - such that in the end we get a sufficient amount of coals in which it will be possible to “hide” the potatoes completely.
While the fire is burning, prepare the food. Wash potatoes thoroughly and dry. Divide the baking foil into squares large enough to wrap the tuber.
Wrap each potato in foil (shiny side out, matte inside). It turns out such silver potatoes, I really like them!
The flame is no longer visible, are there hot coals in the fire? It's time to put in the potatoes. We rake the coals with a stick and carefully lay silver potatoes on their lower layer.
Then from above, again, with the help of a stick, so as not to get burned, we rake up a layer of coals from the sides - so as to cover the potatoes.
Now you can relax while you wait, or put a grate on top of the coals and cook bruschetta over the fire - a great addition to a baked potato! And we had barbecue on top.
How long to bake potatoes in foil on charcoal? Depending on the size of the tubers - from 40 minutes to 1 hour. If the potatoes are very small, do not overdo it so that it does not turn out too dry.
