    FAQs

    Why use a campfire to cook this dish?

    A campfire adds a smoky flavor to the food that can’t be replicated on a stovetop. Plus, it’s just more fun to cook over an open fire.

    Can campfire hash be customized to dietary preferences or restrictions?

    Absolutely! You can make it vegetarian by omitting meat or using plant-based alternatives and can also be adapted to be gluten-free or dairy-free if needed.

    How can I prevent campfire hash from sticking to the pan?

    Make sure you use enough oil or butter to coat the bottom of the skillet before adding the ingredients. Also, try to avoid stirring the hash too frequently, as this can cause the potatoes to break apart and stick.
