Ingredients
- 6 cups diced potatoes, peeled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add diced potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
- Mash some of the potatoes directly in the crock pot for a thicker texture, leaving some chunks for heartiness.
- Stir in cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Mix in half of the crumbled bacon, reserving the rest for topping.
- Serve hot, garnished with remaining bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions.

 For extra richness, top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
