1 (8 ounce) container French onion sour cream dip
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small skillet, cook onion in drippings until transparent. In the meanwhile, peel the cooled, cooked potatoes and cube them. Put into a large bowl all the ingredients, except 1/2 the bacon and 1/2 cup cheese. Spread into buttered 13 x 9 inch baking dish and top with reserved cheese and bacon.
