• Different varieties of potatoes require different cooking times, so for uniform roasting, take potatoes of the same variety.
• The most optimal potato variety is medium-boiling with a pinkish peel. It is moderately hard and keeps its shape well after heat treatment.
• Too large tubers will increase baking time, so it is advisable to cut them into slices or slices. At the same time, the slices must be the same when sliced \u200b\u200bso that they are cooked at the same time.
• To ensure that crisps are guaranteed to form on the tubers, excess starch should be removed from them. To do this, the processed potatoes are soaked in cold water for about an hour, then dried with a paper towel and baked.
• Potatoes are fried on well-heated coals, but without flames of flame. It is impossible to allow open fire, firewood should only smolder. If the flame erupted into the open, it should be extinguished with spray marinade or plain water. However, the best option is to sprinkle with salt.
• The bottom of the barbecue should have holes for air intake.
• The distance between smoldering coals to the potato should be about 15 cm. This height will be ideal for cooking. Having placed the skewer below, the potatoes will burn, above - for a long time to cook.
• Caucasian chefs use wood from fruit trees to fry kebabs on the grill. They add flavor to the food.
• It is better to kindle logs with paper or specks, rather than a special liquid.
• In bad weather or winter days, with no less success, you can cook potatoes on skewers in the oven.
• It is better to salt the potatoes at the very end of cooking, as salt helps to break down the tubers and they can break into pieces.
• The readiness of the dish can be checked by piercing the tuber with a toothpick. If it goes well, then the potato is ready. With a fork or knife, do not check the readiness, because potatoes may break.
• If the potato is cooked with bacon, resulting in too greasy, it can be laid out on a thick layer of paper towels to absorb excess fat.

At a picnic there is nothing better than a potato baked in a bonfire. The simplest recipe familiar to every student can be successfully diversified, the main thing is not to be lazy and fantasize.

During picnics and field trips, charcoal-baked potatoes will be a great addition (or even alternative) to barbecue. You can prepare in advance by making blanks at home, or quickly navigate in the "field conditions".

Charcoal potatoes are prepared in two ways: in foil after kebabs by burying tubers in hot ash, or by roasting on a fire before setting kebabs. In the first case, you get baked potatoes with lard, in the second - fried with crisp.

Ingredients:

• potatoes - 1 kg;
• fat - 150-200 grams (optional);
• vegetable oil - for frying (for cooking without foil);
• salt, pepper, spices - to taste.

Charcoal potato recipe

1. Wash and dry tubers well.

2. For cooking in foil with lard: make an incision about 1 cm thick in the middle of each potato. Fill the cavity with a piece of lard. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and other spices. Wrap each tuber with 1-2 layers of food foil. The advantage of this method is that it is possible to make blanks even before going to nature.

For cooking at the stake: just before frying, cut the potatoes with the peel into circles about 2 centimeters thick. Grate each piece on both sides with salt. Put the circles on the grill or string on skewers at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other. Pour abundantly with vegetable oil, sprinkle with spices.

3. To make a fire. In the second method, fry potatoes on an open fire for 10-15 minutes on each side until a golden crust appears. The finished dish is easily pierced with a toothpick to the middle.

If the potatoes are baked in foil, you need to wait until the fire burns out. After that, put the potatoes on the coals, sprinkle on top with heat. After 15-20 minutes, you can check for readiness by piercing the tubers with a knife.
