 Categories: Dips, Cheese, Pork, Potatoes
      Yield: 48 Servings
 
  2 1/4 lb Yukon gold potatoes; peeled,
           - quartered
      4 sl Hickory or applewood-smoked
           - bacon
     10 oz Carton cream cheese; for
           - cooking
      1 c  Shredded sharp cheddar
           - cheese
    1/2 c  Sour cream
    1/4 c  Chopped green onions
    1/4 ts Garlic salt
           Sour cream-and-onion potato
           - chips
           +=OR=+
           Bell pepper wedges
 
  In a covered large saucepan cook potatoes in enough
  boiling, lightly salted water to cover for 15 to 20
  minutes or until tender; drain.
  
  Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat
  until crisp. Remove bacon; drain on paper towels. Crumble
  bacon; reserve 1 tablespoon of the crumbled bacon for
  topping.
  
  In a large bowl combine the remaining crumbled bacon,
  cream cheese for cooking, 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese,
  the sour cream, green onions, and garlic salt. Press
  cooked potatoes through a ricer* onto the cheese mixture;
  stir gently to combine. Spoon potato mixture into a 1-1/2-
  or 2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low-heat setting
  for about 2 hours or until heated through (160 degrees F).
  
  Top dip with the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and the
  reserved bacon. Serve immediately or keep warm, covered,
  on warm-heat or low-heat setting for up to 2 hours. Serve
  with potato chips.
  
  FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: If you don't have a ricer, mash
  potatoes with a potato masher until fluffy.
  
  BACON, BLUE CHEESE, AND POTATO DIP: Prepare as directed
  above, except substitute 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4
  ounces) for the cheddar cheese. Serve with barbecue-flavor
  potato chips or celery sticks instead of sour-cream &
  onion flavor potato chips and sweet pepper wedges.
