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. 

Cover and bake for 45 minutes at 375. Uncover and then continue to bake for another 15 minutes. 

This recipe can easily be doubled but then the baking time will need to be increased.
