I made this chowder with left over baked potatoes. Next time you bake potatoes, add two more and make this recipe. Helps to have really good stock.
Ingredients:
two large baked potatoes cooled, skinned and cut into 1/4 inch dice
small yellow onion cut into 1/4 inch dice
2.5 stalks of celery cut into 1/4 inch dice
2.5 med carrots cut into 1/4 inch dice
1 jalapeño pepper – seeded and cut into 1/8 inch dice
3 cloves of garlic – crushed
3 t of butter
salt and pepper
1/4 t celery seed
1 t of dried basil
1 t of poupon mustard
1 c of grated cheddar cheese – any kind
4 slices of crispy, fried bacon broken into 1/2 pieces or smaller
2 c of heavy cream
1.5 c of milk
1/3 c sour cream
1/3 c or plain yogurt
2.5 cups of rich stock - chicken or turkey
Directions:
1. Melt the butter
2. Sauté the onions, celery, carrots, jalapeño and garlic for 5 - 10 m
3. Add salt and pepper, celery seed and basil, sauté a bit longer
4. Add the potatoes and stock – the stock should just cover the potatoes.
5. Simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes start to break apart a little.
6. Add the cream, milk, sour cream, yogurt and Poupon to the pot
7. Stir and slowly bring to a very light boil - add the cheese and bacon
8. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often
9. Cool a bit and serve
