Breakfast Foil Packs
A camping favorite—foil pack recipes are so easy to make over the fire pit or on the grill. Just make sure you’re using heavy-duty foil, and add extra durability by adding a layer of parchment paper inside the foil. With a few veggies, spices, breakfast sausages, eggs, and Little Potatoes, you’ll be starting the day deliciously. Truly the only thing better than potatoes is breakfast potatoes.

Prep tip: Dice your veggies and par-cook the potatoes the night before your trip. Store in a cooler, then just crack in the eggs and grill in the foil tray at the campsite while your coffee brews.
Campfire Home Fries
Craving comfort food at the campsite? These BBQ-style Little Potato fries are crispy, saucy, and perfect for sharing around the fire. Top with cheese, green onions, or your favorite barbecue sauce for a fun spin on campfire poutine.

Cajun Potato, Corn, and Sausage Kebabs
You only need five ingredients to make these, and you can make it so simple by pre-boiling the corn before you get to the campsite. All you’ll have to do when you’re ready to start preparing is add it to the skewer with the potatoes and sausages and you’ll speed up prep time. They’re also super customizable; if sausages aren’t your thing, you can easily swap them with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Smoked Ham Potato Salad
This potato salad has both ham and hardboiled eggs in it, making it perfect for an easy and portable lunch. To speed up prep, you can make the entire salad ahead of time, or boil the eggs before you go so you can easily chop and mix everything at the campsite.
