POTATOES! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a loaded baked potato salad...

It's recipe time! My hubby and I brought this one to a birthday party this weekend, and it didn't last the evening. It was decently easy to make and would be delicious served warm or cold. Without further ado:

Loaded Baked Potato Salad

3 lbs red potatoes, pricked, brushed with olive oil, and baked in a 425 degree oven until fork tender
1lb cheap bacon (I discarded half of it in fat, so if you get good/turkey bacon, you only need half of a pound)
2-3 green onions, snipped
sour cream
sharp cheddar cheese
sea salt, black pepper, Morton's Nature's Seasons seasoning

I think you can see where the instructions are going. Everyone has their own preferences in amounts of creaminess or cheesiness, so pretty much everything is "throw it in there to taste." Mix and serve, or mix and chill and serve, your thing. You can cut up the potatoes with a knife while they're hot and melt it all together, that really disperses the sour cream and cheddar flavors well. I kept some of the bacon out and used it as a garnish on top, but you could do that with most of the ingredients.
