Sparkling Potatoes
12” Dutch oven
Serves 10-12
40-45 minutes cooking time
15 top & 9 bottom briquettes

Brown in Dutch oven:
	1/2 pound bacon, cut in small pieces

Drain fat, then add and cook until clear:
	1 large onion, sliced thin
	2 cloves minced garlic

Slice: 8 potatoes, scrubbed with skins
	1/2 pound fresh mushrooms

	Layer potatoes and mushrooms in Dutch oven with onions and bacon.  Pour 1 12 oz. can of Sprite over the top.

Sprinkle with: 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
	
	Cover with lid. Steam until potatoes are tender.  About half way through cooking time, turn mixture to prevent burning.
