OK, we perfected this and "patented" it, so don't tell anyone else...Fry your bacon first, remove leaving "flavor liquids". Put your sausage in next (your pick...deer, pork, whatever) and remove, again leaving the liquids. Put in some garlic (fresh, preferably) until it turns brown. Remove it from the oil.

Put your potatoes in and fry until golden, while adding the bacon and sausage. Your onions, IMO, are best going in last because I like them crispy/crunchy, but that is up to you. You can also put in the browned garlic at this time. Stir it around alot. Serve.

Now the secret that we use is plenty of seasoned salt and blackened seasoning. Put that stuff on heavy towards the end of the process. Your potato "casserole" should almost turn the color of the spice to do it right. Serve with hot sauce/picante sauce. We make this for breakfast typically and serve with eggs. There are no leftovers. We do this on our Canada trips so a key tip that we learned over the years is...the night before, after you are done grilling your steaks/burgers, wrap the potatoes in foil, one at a time, and bake them on the grill. You can leave them on the grill and forget about them, if the coals are just right (white) and the weather is conducive. If it is hot out, then I would say don't leave them out, or if the bears are particularly thick.

The next morning, they are chopped and fried. They cook a lot faster this way and turn a better shade of brown. You can also do this at home with most of the ingredients and freeze, therefore saving you even more time. Enjoy.

Chopped jalapeno peppers? The sky is the limit.

Sounds tasty, nothing goes better with wild game than a re-fried potato dish with just the right seasonings, well maybe one thing--a mich golden

One of the keys that prov1900 hit on the head is pre cooking the potato. When doing it at home or camp we cover them with water and bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 min and turn em off and forget about it till morning them make em. Also remember, salt makes the world go round...

Could just do what we call hobo potatoes. Cut the spuds up American style, add butter, sliced carrots, mushrooms, bacon, onion, salt and pepper or seasoned salt. I like to use aluminum pie plates and then cover with foil when I cook them this way. Can be done over campfire or grill. Just don't let it get too hot so they stick or...do it because I love the crispy ones too.

That sounds good too!! One thing we do that I forgot to mention and something that you could do in this recipe, is add last nights meat to it. Brats/burger/steak(if for some odd reason there is any steak leftover) or just about anything else can go in the "pot".

One thing we tried one time was add eggs to it, as in add the raw eggs to cook in the pot of potatoes and meat. Don't do it, it does not work and ruins the pot, as far as I am concerned. They don't cook correctly and everything gets a burned/bitter taste to it.

We also cook the taters in one of those monster skillets on top of my turkey fryer base.

We fry up a pound of bacon, add a couple bags of O'brian potatoes. They have green peppers and onions added, fry til about 1/2 done and add a bag of frozen corn and fry until corn has browned up a bit and eat.

looks like waska's resemble the way we do it! ...here's some pics of one of our shore lunchesfrom up in the Voyageurs park country last early june...potatoes fried up with red bell peppers, onion of course...side pork and bacon chunks..

That's funny, because every time we go camping, we make that exact dish for breakfast! There are never any complaints or leftovers. We always whip the eggs well and add a good amount of various seasonings to them before adding them to the pot. Don't add them until everything else is cooked. Also, we reduce the heat before adding the eggs, and constantly stir the whole thing until the eggs are done cooking. We usually top with shredded cheese and hot sauce/salsa.

we do the simple method of just slicing the spuds raw, then half mooning them... alright guys, pull you pants back up, I meant the way you cut the slices. then add butter to your pleasure, for me that means half a stick or better, put all into a 3 inch deep tin for grill, then I coat in my secret weapon... JR's Mix, it's a rub/seasoning that is great on ribs, seafood, steak and of course potato's It is made by a grilling expert from Cuero Texas, and sold at their cooking store and propane business. if'n y'all'd like to find out more bout it, email me. It really is great stuff and is absolutely tasty!!! I go through at least 2 shakers a year, and have introduced it to many in SW Mn at the lake and campgrounds. [email protected]

Muc it sound like you make yours with the same type of seasonings. My brother in law brought me back some stuff called Gator Sprinkles and it really makes the potatoes. A little salt and a little heat and some spice. I will have to google that jrs mix and give it a try.
