5 Medium to Large Yukon Gold Potatoes cut in half
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 Tub Knorr Homestyle Chicken Stock or 2 teaspoons better than bouillon
1 Small Onion Chopped Fine
2 Tablespoons Flour
2 Cups Heavy Cream or Half and Half
3 Cups Skim Milk
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
1-2 Tablespoons Honey
Kosher Salt to Taste I did about a teaspoon
Pepper to taste
Extra Sharp Tillamook Cheese shredded
6 Sliced Cooked Bacon we bake ours in the oven at 425. Trust, it's better in the oven
Sour Cream
Extra Honey for drizzling

Heat a large stock pot, filled with water, to medium-high.
Add the potatoes and cook until just tender.
5 Medium to Large Yukon Gold Potatoes
Drain the potatoes, and peel off the skins. I left a few pieces on, but you don't have to.
Chop the potatoes into 1/2" pieces and set aside in a separate bowl.
Take 3/4 of the potatoes and mash them. Add them back in with the potatoes in the bowl.
Return to your stock pot and heat it up to medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter and the tub of Knorr Homestyle Stock.
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, 1 Tub Knorr Homestyle Chicken Stock
Heat, whisking occasionally until melted, and add the onion.
1 Small Onion
Cook until transleucent, about 3-4 min.
Quickly whisk in the flour and continue to whisk for about 1 minute in order to cook out the flour taste. The mixture should be clumpy, and golden in color.
2 Tablespoons Flour
Add the cream and milk, whisking as you pour in order to dissolve the lumps.
3 Cups Skim Milk, 2 Cups Heavy Cream
Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn down to simmer until it begins to thicken, about 5-10 minutes.
Add the sour cream, honey, and seasonings.
1/4 Cup Sour Cream, 1-2 Tablespoons Honey, Kosher Salt to Taste, Pepper
Add the potatoes back in, and continue to cook for another 5-10 min.
Serve in bowls, topped with cheese, bacon, sour cream and a drizzle of honey.
