Baked Potato Salad

8 potatoes, cubed (half peeled or half with skin)
2 teaspoons salt
6 slices bacon, diced & crisp cooked
6 green onions
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
16 ounces sour cream
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Add cubed potatoes to boiling salted water, let boil for about 12 minutes. Do fork test to see when they are done. Once tender, drain from water.
Cook and crumble bacon and slice onions - set aside
Combine sour cream, pepper and mayonnaise.
Add mixture to potatoes
Add bacon, onions and cheese (reserve some of each for top) and fold over gently to mix well
Pour into baking dish.
Top with reserved cheese, onions, and bacon.
Bake 350 for 10-15 minutes (until cheese melts) - baking is optional... it is delicious either way.

Patrick didn't like potato salad until he tried this one ;)
