Ingredients
2 1/2 LBS peeled Red Potatoes (1/2 inch cubes) 1 Minced small Yellow Onion 1 Very Finely Minced Red Bell Pepper 1 Minced Garlic Clove 1/2 LB Crumbled Bacon 1 C Cheddar Cheese 2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Black Pepper 4 C Chicken or Vegetable Stock 1 1/2 C Half & Half 2 Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves 1 1/2 tsp Hot Sauce Sour Cream (OPTIONAL)
Preparation Tips
You can use store bought stock but for the best results and outstanding flavor I would recommend making your own Homemade Chicken stock or Vegetable stock.Red potatoes turn brown very fast after peeling them, faster than baked potatoes. So, after peeling them, place them in a large bowl with enough cold water to cover them. (This will keep them from browning.) The potato skins can be added to most stock recipes if you wash them thoroughly before peeling, so you can save them if you like or discard them.
Now for some actual cooking!
