Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 pounds potatoes (about 8 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 thick-sliced bacon strips
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped green pepper

Directions

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender.

Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia
