Little off topic, but if you have a grill.....

You don't even need a grill for these, make a small fire and heat a flat rock large enough to hold all your poppers. These could even be made ahead of time at home and brought along cold.

Great idea ranger!

Place a layer of potatoes in serving dish; salt lightly. Cover with layer of sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and onion. Continue layering until done, ending with parsley and onion. Do not stir.

My family loved it, we often had it with chicken drum sticks I prepared at home to eat them cold later. The horseradish makes the difference, very tasty.
