Jonathan’s Campfire Cooking

We all have our favorite campfire recipes. When you camp with Jonathan you will always get Fried Fish with Maine Guide Potatoes for dinner, and Egg-in-a-Hole for breakfast. I have now seen him cook it enough to know how it is done. Simple and tasty – the perfect campfire food, and always cooked on the fire.

Jonathan working his magic

Fried Fish

Olive oil (can use cooking oil or butter)
Haddock fillets (can also use Cod or other white fish)
Bread crumbs

Cut fish into serving size pieces. Coat in bread crumbs. Heat oil in frying pan. Add fish skin-side up and cook for a couple of minutes undisturbed to let the first side develop a nice crust. Flip and cook skin side down until a nice crust develops on second side. Serve immediately with Maine Guide Potatoes and salad.

Fried Fish and Maine Guide Potatoes

Maine Guide Potatoes

Baby Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes
Couple of onions
Squeeze margarine (or butter)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Quarter potatoes. Cut onions in large pieces. Add potatoes and onions and cook until tender. Drain and serve with squeeze margarine (or butter). Left-overs become home fries the next morning.

Egg-in-a-Hole and Sausage

Egg-in-a-Hole

Olive oil (can use cooking oil or butter)
Hearty White Bread (like Country Kitchen Hearty Canadian White or Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse White)
Eggs

Coat frying pan lightly with oil. Tear a hole in the middle of the bread for the egg – save and toast as you cook. Add the bread to the pan and crack one egg into the hole. Once the egg is set, flip and toast the other side. Serve with home fries from left-over Maine Guide Potatoes, lots of bacon, and a fried tomato for the full “Jonathan” breakfast.
