Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash part of the potatoes for a creamy texture, but still leave some chunks.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the crumbled bacon.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, remaining bacon, and chives.

Notes

  1. Be careful not to overblend the potatoes; leave some for texture. Adjust the salt to enhance flavor.
