Ingredients
1 package crab boil
3 pounds red potatoes
1 pound bacon, diced
1 cup diced red onion
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 pound butter, at room temperature
2 cups finely shredded Cheddar
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt & Pepper
16 ounces sour cream
Directions
Fill a 6-quart pot 2/3 full of water, add crab boil. Cut the potatoes into 3/8 inch, or bite-size pieces. Add the potatoes to the pot. Bring water to a boil and cook th epotatoes until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking: in a medium saute pan, cook bacon pieces until crispy; remove and drain (I strain in a spagetti strainer). Retain some bacon drippings in the pan and add the red onion; cook until caramelized. Just before onions are done, add garlic and cook until lightly brown.
In a bowl, place butter, 1/2 the cheese, 1/2 the bacon bits, 1/2 the green onion, the cooked red onions and garlic, cayenne, paprika, sale, pepper and sour cream; mix togther thoroughly.
Strain potatoes and add to bowl; let stand for a few minutes or until cheese starts to melt. Fold ingredients together, trying not to break up the potatoes excessively. Top with remaining cheese, bacon and green onions. I lidded the completed dish to allow the top cheese to soften/melt a little, too. Delish!
