Ingredients

  • 6 cups russet potatoes , peeled and chopped (about 4 large or 8 small)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt , more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon dry marjoram
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt (thick style)
  • 1-¼ cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated, divided
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 slices bacon
  • chives to top (optional)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except last 5 to slow cooker and stir to combine. Turn on high and cover. (High cook will take 3-4 hours - if you need to cook on low while at work it will take 6-7 hours.)
  • During the last 30 minutes or so of cooking time, cook bacon in a skillet on the stove. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
  • Turn heat to warm. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to blend potatoes to your desired chunkiness.
  • Add sour cream, 1 cup of the cheese (reserving ¼ cup to top), and cream and mix in. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes to let cheese melt.
  • Serve topped with extra cheese, bacon, and chives if desired.
