Caramelized Onion Taters
Serves 1
Fresh sliced onion will last a couple of days in your pack. Whole onions are virtually indestructible, so on longer trips slice them in camp for this recipe.

¼ cup fresh onion, thinly sliced
½ cup instant mashed potatoes, any flavor
olive oil

At home: slice onion and place in a zip locking plastic bag. Place the instant potatoes in a second bag. Carry the olive oil in a small screw top container.

In camp: heat pan. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Add onions. Sauté until golden brown and caramelized.

Stir in 1 cup water. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan gently to get all of the bits of onion. Bring to a boil.

Add potatoes and stir to combine.

Sounds tasty thanks, maybe stir in some cheese as well, or some Spam that was diced up and fried with the onions. The possibilities are endless. Don't forget the garlic pepper.
