YUM: Southern Utah’s BEST Dutch Oven Potatoes Recipe!

Over last weekend, I had my Nephew ask me to make my specialty for dinner: DUTCH OVEN POTATOES!

Here's what you'll need:

Potatoes
Onion
Shredded Cheese
Bacon
Chicken Breast
Charcoal Briquettes

STEPS:

1. Get your briquettes lit! Get them white hot!

2. Drop in your cut-up bacon. (The grease will the bacon should be enough to make sure things don't stick. But if you want, you can use a little oil or butter.) Keep stirring that bacon occasionally.

3. Once that bacon is getting cooked, drop in your chicken breasts. Let your bacon and chicken cook together with the top on.

4. Keep stirring your bacon and chicken, and flip your chicken over. MAKE SURE IT'S REALLY GETTING COOKED.

5. Once it looks like your chicken is getting cooked, drop in some (not all) diced onions. (I like doing my onions early so they get cooked well.)

6. After a while, your chicken should start to get pretty cooked. Start shredding your chicken up BEFORE putting anything else in. Make sure your chicken is cooked!

7. Throw in your sliced potatoes. NOT TOO THIN! Stir those in, get them to the bottom of the Dutch Oven, and get your chicken and bacon to the top.

8. Throw in the rest of your diced onions.

9. At this point, you can keep slow cooking everything, or build a fire around your dutch oven to really bring the heat up (This is what I do). But DEFINITELY put some hot briquettes on top of the lid of the dutch oven. That will help cook the food near the top.

10. Stir a lot! Taste those potatoes. If they're nice and soft, you're ready to go!

11. SEASON EVERYTHING! Onion Powder, Garlic Salt, Salt, Pepper. Be pretty liberal with it if there's LOTS of potatoes!

12. Add SO MUCH SHREDDED CHEESE! Stir. MORE CHEESE! Stir.

13. Enjoy, my guy!
