Foil-Wrapped Roasted Potatoes& Mushrooms

When camping, a simple yet delicious foil packet meal saves time and preserves the natural flavors of ingredients. These roasted potatoes and mushrooms are tender and flavorful—perfect as a main or side dish on any outdoor adventure.

Ingredients

• 2 potatoes, thinly sliced

• 4–5 fresh mushrooms, stems removed and sliced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• A pinch of fresh or dried thyme

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Prepare the foil: Tear off a 30×30 cm sheet of heavy-duty foil and fold up the edges to prevent leaks.

2. Assemble: Arrange the potato and mushroom slices in the center, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. Seal: Fold the top and bottom together, then tightly roll the sides to create a fully sealed packet.

4. Cook: Place the packet in the embers or at the edge of a charcoal fire. Cook for 10 minutes per side (20 minutes total), flipping once for even heat.

5. Serve: Carefully open after a few minutes to cool. The potatoes and mushrooms will be infused with aromatic oil and perfectly tender—serve alongside grilled meats or a fresh salad.
