Place washed Potatoes with peel on into a pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are just barely cooked. Do not overcook them! Drain the water and cool completely. Peel the potatoes and then shred with a large shredder. Or you can use a knife to slice thinly. Put the shredded Potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle the melted Margarine over the Potatoes.
In a separate bowl mix together the soup, sour cream,water, 1 cup shredded cheese, seasonings, salt and pepper. Then pour over the potatoes and mix well. Put potato mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese and bacon.
