Clay baking is very easy. Pack an inch of mud around each potato and place in bed of hot coals. Don't place over open fire. Rotate potatoes after 15 minutes or if you see clay turning red in color from the heat. It takes about 45 min. for large, Idaho potatoes to cook thoroughly. Generally, when the clay covering is completely dry, the potato is done.
Remove from the fire and let cool or hold with a hot pad and crack the clay shell. It will come off cleanly with no dirt on the potato.
You can use the same technique for cooking any root vegetable, chicken or fish (leave on the scales and the clay removes them automatically).

CAMPING TIP
Get yourself a can of Altoids and after the mints are used pack inside several kitchen matches and a striker cut from the side of the box. Toss this inside your camp stove and you will always have a backup ignition source at the ready.
