Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes
4 tbsp salted butter
Sea salt
fresh cracked black pepper
1 small onion sliced sliced
1 tbsp minced garlic

Toppings

Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Cooked bacon
Diced Red onion
Green onion

Instructions

Wash potatoes and pat dry.
Rub down each potato with butter and thoroughly season with salt and pepper. They will absorb the seasoning so be liberal. You can add additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder or dried herbs if desired.
Wrap them in foil and cook in coals that are burned down. You do not want the fire to be too hot or the exterior will burn before the center is cooked.
Rotate the potatoes every 10 minutes fora total cook time of 30 mins to 1 hour depending on the size of potatoes and temperature of fire.
Remove from heat with long tongs and let stand 5- 10 minutes. Open carefully to release the steam.
Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon, red onion and green onions.

Notes

If you do not have time to burn down the coals and want them to get started you can also cook them on the cooking grate. Just be sure to rotate them regularly.
