Wash potatoes, prick on all sides with a fork. Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree f oven for 1 hr 15 min. Remove when tender all the way through. Allow to cool before handling.

Chop bacon. Add bacon and onion to a frying pan. Fry until bacon is cooked and onions are browned. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes before done. Remove and drain bacon grease. Put in a large mixing bowl to cool.

When cooled, give salad a final mix. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve in a bowl and crush potato chips on top for a little crunch. Enjoy.
