Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients except the scallions and cheese for topping. Toss well.

Transfer to an oven proof casserole that will hold your potatoes in one layer. Cover with lid or foil and bake for about 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.

Remove foil and top with reserved shredded cheese. Place under a preheated broiler and broil until cheese melts. Remove from oven and top with scallions.
