I love taters and onions, simple, easy and hard to mess up unless you burn them.
When I camped out a lot I always brought a bag of taters and onions and some butter.
Set 2 small logs just apart enough to set a cast iron pan on them w the ends stuck in the edge of the fire.
rake some coals into the slot between the logs, set the pan down and toss in a half stick of butter.
add thinnish sliced taters and onions, salt and pepper and cook stirring about every 5 minutes till browned and somewhat soft. It smells delightful while cooking and is delicious.
We also often fried bacon in the skillet and cooked the mess in the bacon grease...........YUM
I make a dish of them in the oven now and then
Slice 2/4 baking taters into 1/8-1/4" coins
slice 2/4 onions in coins same thickness.
oil a glass baking dish/caserole w evoo
toss the taters w more evoo and chopped garlic,salt,pepper in a large bowl and lay the rounded tips of the taters at one end of the dish. Then and lay a row of tatter coins against them, tilted about 45*
lay coins of onion/tatter/onions and repeat to fill the dish full of the tilted tater/onion stack.
sprinkle more chopped garlic on top and bake @ 350 till brown on the bottom and tatters are soft about 45 mins.
served w some sour cream or just by itself, it's worth the time it takes to assemble.
