Camp burgers and potatoes

If you’re a fan of burgers and looking for a delicious twist to your camping menu, look no further than these Aioli & Mushroom Burgers with Tornado Potatoes! These mouth-watering burgers, made on our Otzi Ember grill, are a perfect combination of juicy beef, earthy mushrooms, and creamy garlic aioli sauce that will satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more. 

This recipe also adds some arugula for a fresh, bright flavor and a nice crunch to the overall texture of the burger. The slightly peppery taste of the arugula pairs perfectly with the rich and savory flavors of the burger, creating a delicious flavor combination that is both satisfying and refreshing. Arugula is high in vitamins and minerals and low in calories, so it’s also a great healthy addition to your burger.

To add the arugula, simply wash and dry the leaves and place a handful on top of the bottom bun before adding the burger patty and other toppings. The arugula will wilt slightly from the heat of the patty, but will still retain its crunch and fresh flavor.

Camp recipe ingredients

The tornado potatoes are a fun and unique way to enjoy your favorite campfire side, and dipping the tornado potato rings in the garlic aioli is a match made in heaven. The crispy, spiral-shaped potato rings are the perfect vessel for the rich and tangy flavors of the garlic aioli. The creamy and smooth texture of the aioli complements the crunchy exterior of the potato rings, creating a delightful contrast of textures in each bite. 

And don’t forget the perfect bun! This recipe uses a ciabatta bun; a traditional Italian bread known for its crusty exterior and soft, chewy interior. This type of bun is perfect for burgers as it has a strong structure that can hold all the toppings without getting soggy or falling apart. 

The crusty exterior of the ciabatta bun also adds a delicious texture to the burger. When grilled, the outer layer of the bun becomes slightly crispy and provides a satisfying crunch with each bite. The soft and chewy interior of the bun also absorbs the juices from the burger and the toppings, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. It’s a simple yet delicious way to make your meal feel more gourmet and restaurant-worthy.
