Cooking
  1. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender.
Serving

  3. Serve in smaller portions for a starter or larger bowls for a hearty main dish.

Notes

Enhance flavor with a pinch of garlic or onion powder. Customize by adding vegetables like corn or carrots. Serve with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.
