Ingredients:

4 sausages (such as Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or smoked sausage)
3 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Sausage and Veggies: Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces. Dice the potatoes, bell pepper, and onion into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Make the Foil Packets: Lay out 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12 inches long). Lightly grease the center of each sheet with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Packets:
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sausage pieces, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and place each portion in the center of a foil sheet. Fold the edges of the foil over the mixture to create a tightly sealed packet, making sure the contents are well-contained.
Cook the Packets:
- Campfire/Grill Method: Place the foil packets on a preheated grill or campfire grill grate. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
- Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of the hot steam) and serve the sausage and potato hash directly from the foil or transfer to a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Customize the Seasoning: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat or swap the paprika for smoked paprika for a richer, smokier flavor.
