  5. 10 cups chicken stock or broth
  6. 1/2 cup whole milk

  9. 8 oz cream cheese
  10. 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Melt butter in a large dutch oven and sauté onion sprinkled with salt for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir until all butter has been absorbed.

  6. Add potatoes and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. While potatoes are cooking, fry your bacon until crisp.
  8. Mash potatoes in the pot. Leave some chunks since it adds personality!

  10. Add liquid smoke or smoked paprika for a great smoky taste.
  11. Add a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a small kick.
