How To Make jamie's grilled hobo potatoes

• 1

  Prepare the charcoal grill.
• 2

  Wash the potatoes and remove any bad spots. Do not peel.
• 3

  With a mandolin or the side of a grater, slice the potatoes.
• 4

  Slice the onions.
• 5

  When the charcoal turns mostly gray, it's ready. Spread out the charcoal.
• 6

  Place the cast iron skillet on the grate over the coals. Drizzle olive oil on the skillet to prevent the bacon from wanting to stick.
• 
  7

  Cook the bacon in the pan until crispy and then set aside.
• 8

  Add the grated garlic to the pan and cook for a few seconds.
• 9

  Add the sliced potatoes to the pan.
• 
  10

  Then the sliced onion.
• 11

  Salt and pepper to taste. I like to add a little red pepper too.
• 12

  Let the potatoes cook. Stir them often and do not allow them to burn.
• 13

  When the potatoes feel tender, add the bacon back into the skillet in big pieces or keep them as strips. As the potatoes are cooking, stir and keep it up so as not to burn. Depending on how much bacon grease is rendered, you may need to add a little more olive oil.

  Continue to cook. While stirring, begin to cut the potatoes and bacon with the spatula. Keep stirring until very tender and done.

  They should look like this when ready. Cooking time will very from charcoal cooker. It will depend on how heavy you put on the coals and how far the skillet is from the coals. My complete time on the bacon was 5 minutes and the rest took about 45 minutes to finish.
