Baked Shoestring Potatoes Meals can be cooked with aluminum foil packets.
Serves: 4 Cooking Time: 1 Hour | 4 | medium baking potatoes | | 3 | tablespoons butter or margarine | | 1 1/2 | teaspoon salt | | 1/2 | cup grated cheese | | 1/4 | cup milk | | Dash of pepper |
Cut a 48-inch length of aluminum foil and fold in half. Scrub or peel potatoes; cut them into thin length-wise strips as for French fries and place just off center on the foil.
Dot each with butter; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons cheese. Pull edges of foil upward, then pour 1 tablespoon milk over the potatoes.
Make foil into a packet. Cook over glowing coals, about 1 hour or until done.
If desired, fold back edges of foil and sprinkle potatoes with extra cheese. |
