    *Potatoes can be peeled or not, depending on whether the potatoes are new or old.
    Variation:
    Use new, red potatoes.
    Substitute italian salad dressing for the butter.
    Use green onions and add at them at the end for one minutes.
    Omit the milk, bacon and cheese.
    Kind of a warm potato salad.
    Thanks Kasha for pointing out the disappearing water. I added it back in with the potatoes and butter. \"Bad water - get back in the bowl.\".
