Coal-baked potatoes in a foil packet -- seared with a hard crust and rested before the knife.
Prep 13 min · Cook 27 min
Set a cast-iron skillet over the coals or a burner and render the bacon until crisp, then set it aside.
Cook the coal-baked potatoes in the hot fat, letting the potatoes and onion catch a deep, crisp edge.
Season as you go and toss now and then so everything browns evenly over the fire.
Make a well, crack in the eggs if using, and cover until just set.
Serve in a foil packet straight from the pan.
