24 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
¾ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. cracked black pepper
1½ to 2 lb. multi-colored fingerling potatoes
24 sliced country-style white bread

1 cup sliced scallions
Steps
1. In small bowl, combine sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper; mix to blend. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Flatten potatoes to about 3/8-inch thickness.
