What's to fault? Potatoes - bacon - onion - cheese...comfort food to the max!

Excellent comfort food! I microwaved my potatoes instead of boiling them, only until just done. ZWT7

Made for ZWT7 and I have the feeling I would love to live in Switzerland; there would be people with whom I would just 'click'. That is, if my French or German were better...or even more to the point, if they knew how absolutely cool I am in English.
