Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with enough cold water to just cover them.
  3. Bring potatoes to a gentle boil without covering the pot; cook 10 minutes or until fork tender.
  4. Lower heat to a simmer; pour off about 3 cups of water but do not drain completely.
  5. Add cream of chicken soup and Velveeta; stir gently to combine without breaking potatoes.
  6. Keep on low heat for 5 minutes to melt cheese and incorporate ingredients.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and warm through for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Dish into bowls and garnish with desired toppings such as bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese.

Notes

  • Always start potatoes in cold water.
  • Do not drain completely—about 3 cups of water should be poured off but some liquid remains.
  • Toppings are optional but add great flavor and texture.
