I had a 7 hour lamb in the oven so needed an alrernative to make potatoes. This recipe was perfect for that.
I used 25 brikets, a bit more on the lide than under the pan, which seemed to give the perfect temperature. I also had some salt/pepper/rosemary seasoning left from the lamb, which I used instead of just salt. I also rotated the potatoes twice during the cooking.
After some 20 minutes I pur some eggplants around the pan to have some vegetables with it, made a perfect meal.
Great job on adapting to what cooking methods you had available to you! I am so glad it worked out and you enjoyed!
Should I Preheat dutch oven before potatoes go in? And if I skip the oil on potatoes will they stick pan?
Sorry if silky question , I’m new to cast iron cooking
That’s a great question Jennifer, for this recipe you do not need to preheat the Dutch oven.
lid on or off when baking the potatoes
Lid on for these baked potatoes.
