Ingredients
- 3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 3 cups 1-inch bell pepper pieces
- 4 links cooked chicken sausage (12 ounces), cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 2 cups sliced onions
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Combine potatoes, peppers, sausage, onions, oil, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Cut 8 pieces of heavy-duty foil, about 12 by 17 inches each. Coat one piece with cooking spray. Place about 2 cups of the potato mixture in the center of the coated foil and enclose like a package. Place seam-side down on a second piece of foil and enclose again so the potato mixture is wrapped in a double-thick packet. Repeat with the remaining foil and potato mixture, making 4 total packets.
- Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to the coals. Cook the packets 4 to 6 inches above the coals, turning once or twice, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
