Scrambled Potatoes

Scrambled potatoes are a great meal for any time of the day. Pre-boil some potatoes at home and bring them along on your camping trip. This helps them cook faster when preparing the meal outdoors. Place the pre-boiled potatoes in a frying pan over an open fire. Add some vegetable oil and let the potatoes cook until they turn brown. Add onion, garlic and sweet peppers. You can add any vegetables or other ingredients you want. Popular options include zucchini, squash, eggplant, mushroom and tomatoes. After the vegetables finish cooking, add some salt and pepper for taste. The final touch for these scrambled potatoes is some cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, American or even gorgonzola. Let the cheese melt and serve.
