Goody Girl Championship Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 package Zatarain's dry crab boil
3 pounds red potatoes
1 lb. thick-cut bacon, diced
1 cup diced red onion
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 lb. butter, at room temperature
1/4 lb. finely shredded cheese (Cheddar or other variety)
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt & pepper
3/4 cup sour cream

Fill a 6 qt pot 2/3 full of water; add crab boil pouch. Cut the potatoes in half & slice into 3/8 inch thick pieces. Add the potatoes to the pot. Bring water to a boil & cook the potatoes until fork-tender.

While the potatoes are cooking; cook bacon until crispy, remove & drain on a paper towel. Add the red onion to the bacon grease, cook until carmelized. 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 onions, the cooked red onions and garlic, cayenne, paprika, salt & pepper, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly.

Strain potatoes and place in 9x13 pan. Add sour cream mixture & fold together with potatoes. Try not to break up the potatoes. Top with remaining cheese, bacon & green onions.
