Campfire Potatoes - russet potatoes

Method

• 1. PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO: 425*F. (if you don't want to turn on your oven, you can use a toaster oven [if you have 1!!!!] preheated to the same temp.) CLEAN/SCRUB YOUR POTATOES. AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THAT PAT THEM DRY AND SET ASIDE.
• 2. TAKE YOUR 4 STRIPS OF BACON AND TAKE A KNIFE AND CUT YOUR STRIPS OF BACON IN HALF!!!! YOU'LL ONLY NEED HALF A STRIP OF BACON FOR EACH POTATO YOUR MAKING!!!! THEN TAKE YOUR ONION CUT AND IT INTO 1/2in. THICK HALF-MOON SLICES. YOU'LL ONLY NEED 4 TO 5 SLICES OF ONIONS FOR EACH POTATO!!!! (i found 4 pieces work best for me!!!!)
• 3. THEN TAKE A KNIFE AND MAKE A SLIT INTO EACH POTATO BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!! (if you do mistakenly cut the tater all the way like i do all the time it's ok!!!! just bring the halved taters together stuff them w/ your bacon and onions wrap them in the foil and your good to go!!!!)
• 4. AFTER YOU HAVE DONE MAKING SLITS IN YOUR POTATOES TAKE A PIECE OF YOUR CUT BACON AND PLACE INSIDE YOUR POTATOES WHERE YOU MADE THE SLIT!!!! THEN TAKE YOUR ONIONS AND PLACE ALONGSIDE YOUR BACON INSIDE THE SLIT AS WELL!!!!
• 5. AFTER YOU HAVE "STUFFED" YOUR POTATOES W/ THE BACON AND ONIONS WRAP EACH POTATO IN A PIECE OF FOIL!!!!
• 6. AFTER YOU HAVE WRAPPED ALL YOUR POTATOES YOUR MAKING YOU CAN COOK THEM OFF RIGHT NOW OR PLACE THEM IN A BOWL 'TIL YOUR READY TO BAKE/COOK THEM OFF!!!!
• 7. PLACE YOUR WRAPPED POTATOES IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR OVEN!!!! (or you can place your potatoes on a cookie sheet and then place your cookie sheet in the middle of your oven if you want to!!!! but you don't have to!!!!) BAKE FOR: 1 hr. (start checking your potatoes at 45 mins. in for doneness!!!!)
