Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
- 7 cups water or enough to just cover potatoes
- 1 pound Velveeta
- 22 ounce can cream of chicken soup (family size)
- 16 ounces heavy cream
Toppings (optional)
- cooked crumbled bacon
- green onions sliced
- shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Start by peeling and cutting potatoes. Make sure potatoes are in a small bite sized pieces.
- Add potatoes to a large pot and fill pot with enough cold water to just cover potatoes.
- Bring potatoes to a gentle boil. Do NOT cover potatoes with lid. Once potatoes come to a boil, cook for about 10 minutes or until fork tender.
- When potatoes are cooked adjust heat to a low simmer. Do not drain, just pour off about 3 cups of water leaving the rest.
- Add cream of chicken and Velveeta. Gently stir in being careful not to break potatoes. Keep on low heat just allowing cheese to melt and everything to incorporate together for 5 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and allow to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
- Dish into bowls and garnish with desired toppings.
Notes
- Always start potatoes in cold water.
- Do not drain completly- about half of the water of 3 cups should be drained.
