Quick scouting grub!

most people already know it (and maybe under a different name) but its egg-a-la-spud.

Needs: Large potatoe, egg, matchsticks, tinfoil

Cut the top of the potatoe and scoop out the centre. Crack the egg into the hollowed out part of the potatoe place the top of the potatoe back on and secure with a couple of matchsticks. Wrap in tinfoil and put on the embers for 15-20 mins. The egg has the same consistency as a boiled egg.

Boil in a bag omelette is one of my favourites.

wont the bag melt/stick to the bottom of the pan??? or is there something to do to make sure it wont happen.

Make sure your pot has enough water in it to completely cover the bag and when you've got a good rolling boil put the bag in. You should be OK. Check its not touching the sides of the pot.

Good tip is to make sure you've got as much air out as possible.

If I'm putting more than one in the pot I double bag it and put a small leaf or twig in the second bag to identify which is which.

Hope this helps.

Mark,

Like pignut says chop the sausage and instead of beans lob a tomato in there and the natural juice will provide some tasty steam.

Matt.

Good idea

Thats sounds great, i've never heard of it before.
How long do you think it would take in the oven?

You can do roast new potatoes in foil like this. It is one of my Dad's favourites on his gas BBQ

I don't know really. Based on the one or two times i've made potatoes on their own in the oven in tinfoil, i'd guess probably the same time as on the embers. The egg in the centre reduces the cooking time compared to a whole potatoe of the same size so defintely shorter than whatever time it usually takes for a whole one in your oven. I'm more of a steamed/roasted potatoe person!
