Notes

Want to win camping dinner and next-morning breakfast? Bake extra potatoes and toss the leftovers in your cooler. In the morning, cube them up, crisp them in a skillet, and boom—campfire hash. Also: don’t skip the butter and salt rub pre-cook. It’s what gives that skin its salty, crispy, can’t-stop-eating-it vibe. And if you’re cooking for a crowd, pre-wrap and label the foil with names or topping combos using a Sharpie. No more “wait, who put jalapeños on mine?!” chaos.
