4 lb russet potatoes, peeled & cubed (or potatoes of choice)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 medium red onion chopped
1 small bunch green onions, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
4-5 mini sweet peppers (cut into rings)
1/4 stick butter
2 Tbsp olive oil or canola
8 clove garlic minced or chopped fine (less if desired)
2 tsp each kosher salt & coarse black pepper (more or less as desired)
1 Tbsp dried chopped chive
2 1/2 oz pkg. crumbled real bacon
1 1/2 c kerry gold ballyshannon white cheddar cheese,shredded
2 c mild cheddar cheese (shredded)

Steps:

1. You will need a large skillet, with lid, I used a 16 inch size. Add butter and olive or canola oil to skillet, & leave on stove till ready to heat & start cooking.
2. Chop all 3 onions & bell peppers, then cut mini sweet peppers into rings, and add to a large colander.
3. Peel & cube potatoes and add to same colander.
4. Heat oil and butter over low heat, wash all of the veggies througly, drain and add to skillet.
5. Add the chopped or minced garlic, salt & pepper, and chopped chive. Stir to make sure they are not sticking and heat is medium low. Cover with lid and continue to cook.
6. While potatoes are cooking, grate the Cheese if not already grated.
7. Check potatoes to make sure they are not sticking and all the liquid has not evaporated. If it has,add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water, just enough to create steam and prevent potatoes from sticking. Cover with lid and continue to cook till potatoes are tender for a total time of about 20 to 25 minutes.
8. Add the shredded white cheddar cheese, and carefully stir to mix cheese into potatoes, cover with lid about 2-3 minutes.
9. Remove lid then top potatoes with the mild cheddar cheese.
10. Sprinkle bacon on top of cheese. Cover again for about 5 minutes till cheese melts.Serve and enjoy.
11. Turn off heat when cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy.
