I didn't really like the Soup recipes for this so I made one up of my own and it was a big hit.

Ingredients:

3 lbs red potatoes (cubed with skins on)

1 medium onion

salt and pepper

1 (24 ounce) container sour cream

1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

1 -1 1/2 lb bacon (cooked crisp and crumbled)

2 tablespoons bacon grease

1 teaspoon parsley flakes

instant mashed potatoes (for thickening)

shredded cheese (we use cheddar)

Directions:

1. In a Dutch oven or large stock pot cover potatoes with water, to about 1-2 inches above potatoes.
2. Add in onions and salt and pepper.
3. Boil potatoes to right consistency.
4. Do NOT pour off water.
5. Leave on low heat.
6. In a separate bowl mix together sour cream, both cream soups, and evaporated milk with a whisk.
7. Pour this mixture into pot of potatoes; mix well.
8. Add in bacon, grease and parsley flakes.
9. Lower heat to simmer.
10. Add a little instant potatoes in at a time and mix well till you get your desired consistency.
