By Beefman-2

Ingredients

• 2 pounds clean, scrubbed new red potatoes
• 6 eggs
• 1 pound bacon
• 2 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Miracle Whip
• 1 cup sour cream
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and spread out on a cookie sheet to cool.

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Chop the cooled potatoes, leaving skin on. Add to a large bowl, along with the eggs, bacon, onion and celery. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste. Chill for an hour before serving.
