If you are making this in a fire or on the grill I would suggest doubling up on your foil. If making in the oven, a single wrap is fine.
I made this over the weekend camping, so don't mind my caveman ways. It just proves how easy it is to have something other than hot dogs.
Start by slicing some red potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. I used 1 small potato per person, it just depends on how much you want to make. Also cut some carrots and onions. I cut mine in advance and put them in a plastic bag in the cooler.
*I also normally put Magda in my hobo hash but it is not quite in season yet. Don't worry, full blog dedicated to Magda to follow. You could also throw in some sausage or chicken if you wanted to make this a full meal instead of a side.
Pull out two sheets of foil per serving and start by layering your potatoes on the bottom, and then putting your carrots and onions on top. Sprinkle on your seasoning. I have a little container of a mixture of Goya, garlic powder, basil, and pepper made up specifically for this.
Note: Do not use cheap foil!! Good foil can stand up to open flame, cheap foil will literally catch on fire.
Top with 4-5 pats of butter.
Fold in the sides of your foil to make a nice square foil packet. Repeat with the second piece of foil. I used to turn the packet over and fold the other way, so that the butter couldn't escape when turned, but it resulted in a lot of burnt fingers and was just a pain.
Now throw it in the fire! Make a small fire and let it burn down so that you have some nice coals. You can then build the fire back up just a little but leaving an open section for your hash to go. You don't want to put your hash directly on the flame.
Turn every couple minutes until cooked. Usually takes about 20 minutes.
This really is so simple but you won't believe how delicious it is.
