If you're enjoying a
breakfast tailgate,
you'll want to offer your guests some variation of cooked potato.
These home fries are sure to please everyone, and are easy to
make.
Time Required: 1-2 hours
Skill Required: Minimal cooking
skills needed
Ingredients:
Lots
of potatoes, either redskin or small baking potatoes
About
one onion for every 8-10 potatoes (just eye it up -
tailgate cooking is not exact)
Butter
or margarine
Mexican or Southwest seasoning
Salt,
pepper, and garlic
Roast
beef pan (basically a cookie sheet with two-inch-high sides);
this is excellent for cooking on the grill and can be thrown out
if gets destroyed because its cheap
Steps:
Cut
the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
Boil
enough water to cover the potatoes.
Cook
the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
Cut
the onion into small slices, and put the potatoes and onion into
a zip-lock bag. Keep refrigerated until you get to the
tailgate.
Once
at the tailgate, put the roast beef pan on the grill and melt
butter in it. Add the potatoes & onions, and season with a
tremendous amount of Mexican or Southwest seasoning. Each
potato should be coated. Also add salt, pepper, and garlic
to taste. Keep adding butter to keep the potatoes moist.
Be
careful while cooking, as the pan becomes very hot. Keep
stirring the potatoes, while trying not to break them up.
When
they look done, they're done. Remember, you're really just
heating them since they are already cooked through.
Serve
with other breakfast food (no ketchup allowed!)
