Jon's Dutch Oven Potatoes

Ingredients
  • ~5 lbs. Potatoes, diced
    • enough to fill up the Dutch oven
    • I like to use golds, but any potato works
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ½ - 1 lb. chopped bacon
  • Minced garlic
  • 3 – 4 cans of cream of chicken soup
  • Season salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 – 3 cups shredded cheese
    • Enough to cover the top of the potatoes

Instructions
  1. Line Dutch oven with foil. Start charcoal. The coals are ready when at least three corners of each charcoal are gray.
  2. In a cast iron skillet (or other fry pan) cook the bacon and onions. Once onions are tender and the bacon crispy, add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Put diced potatoes in lined oven and pour the bacon/onion/garlic mixture over the potatoes with all of the grease. Stir potatoes to coat in grease. If the potatoes seem dry, add a little oil until potatoes are lightly covered. Season the potatoes with season salt and dump cream of chicken soup over potatoes. Stir to mix.
  4. Cover dutch oven and cook until potatoes are tender; about 45 minutes.
    • 10 – 12 briquettes under
    • 12 – 14 briquettes on top
  5. Once potatoes are tender, mix in sour cream.
  6. Top with cheese and remove from heat. Put the hot lid back on top to help melt the cheese.
  7. Enjoy :D
