INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
    • 🧅 1 yellow onion, diced
    • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, or to taste

  • Stock and Seasonings

    • 1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken stock
    • 🧂 1 ½ teaspoons salt
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter
    • ¼ cup sour cream

  • Other Ingredients

    • 🥓 1 (16 ounce) package thick cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
    • 🌾 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

STEPS

1

Combine potatoes, chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 4 hours.

2

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and wipe out most of the grease from the skillet.

3

Puree potatoes in the slow cooker with an immersion blender until smooth. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the cooked bacon, set temperature to Low, and cook for 1 to 2 hours.

4

Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, sour cream, and garlic powder; whisk until thickened. Pour into the slow cooker and cook on Low for 1 more hour.

5

Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon, remaining Cheddar, sour cream, and scallions.
