Not Your Standard Potato Salad

Fill a large pot with water and add the crab boil package (leave it in the mesh bag). Add the cut potatoes and bring the water to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, but not mushy. Drain and throw away the seasoning bag.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, remove and drain on a paper towel. Remove all but one tablespoon of grease from the pan. Add red onion to pan and cook until almost caramelized, add garlic and cook until onions and garlic are lightly browned.

In a large bowl combine half of the cheese, half of the cooked bacon, half of the green onions, the cooked onion mixture, cayenne, paprika, and sour cream. Stir until combined. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as necessary.

Add the warm potatoes to the sour cream mixture and stir gently to combine. Top with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon. Best served warm.
