What You'll Need
- Roughly 30-32 oz of Yukon Gold Potatoes (3-4 potatoes)
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion
- 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
- 2 handfuls of matchstick carrots
- 1 10.5 oz can of cream of potato soup
- 1 32 fl oz box of low sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 10 oz bar of cream cheese
- 5 oz Bacon Bits
- 1/4 cup flour
- Shredded Sharp Cheddar
- Scallions
- Misc spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper
How Long It'll Take
Prep time is maybe 30 minutes, cook time is 5-6 hours on high, or 8+ hours on low.
Let's Get Started
1. Weigh and clean your potatoes. Put the potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes to soften a little.
2. Dice your onion and put them in a pan with butter.
3. Begin to dice your potatoes into small cubes.
4. Once the onions are glazed, add the flour to the plan. Add some more butter. Mix well, and transfer to the crock pot.
5. Add your diced potatoes, bacon bits, carrots, cream of potato soup, and chicken broth to the crock pot.
6. Add some of all the spices, to taste (start slow, you can add more later).
7. Let cook for 5-6 hours on high, or 8+ hours on low - or until potatoes are soft.
8. An hour before you're ready to serve, cut up the cream cheese in small cubes, add to the crock pot. Mix well. You can use a whisk to break it up. It's also helpful if you soften the cream cheese first, which you can do in the microwave.
9. After a while, the potatoes should eventually start to disintegrate, but if they don't you can use an immersion blender to mix them finely.
10. When you're ready t o serve, top with some shredded cheddar and chopped scallions.
11. Enjoy!
