Description

Simple, healthy recipes without sacrificing taste!

Directions

  • Prep: Wash the red potatoes and cut into small cubes. Peel if desired (I like to leave the peel on). Dice the onion, dice the celery, dice the carrot.
  • In a very large pot, over medium heat, cook all of the bacon to desired doneness.
  • Remove onto a paper towel lined plate and dab off the excess grease. Coarsely chop the bacon.
  • Drain all of the bacon fat except for 3 tablespoons.
  • Add in the onion, celery, and carrot and cook until the onion is translucent over medium heat, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic in the last 30 seconds.
  • Add in the potatoes and toss everything to coat.
  • Cover everything with 6 cups water and 6 regular sized chicken boullion cubes (watch out, there are extra large ones -- if you get large ones adjust) OR 6 cups chicken stock.
  • Heat to boiling and then reduce the heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Using a potato masher, mash down some of the tender potatoes, leaving some chunks.
  • In another pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Slowly whisk in the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for one minute over medium heat.
  • Very slowly add in 2 cups of room temperature milk.
  • Whisk until thickened. Add in a generous amount of salt and pepper (I add about a tsp of each, but to your preference!)
  • To the potatoes: add in the cream mixture, additional 2 cups of milk, sour cream, generous amount of chives or green onions, 2 cups of the cheese, and half of the cooked bacon.
  • Stir and cook until heated and cheese is melted.
  • Top individual bowls with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, remaining bacon, and remaining chives/green onions.
  • Enjoy!
