Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them until tender in a large pot.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until thickened.
Add the cooked potatoes, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the pot and stir until combined.
Heat through without boiling. Serve topped with green onions and bacon bits.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and omit the bacon.
Feel free to add other toppings like additional cheese or chives.
