By special request from Mrs. Watchamakalit:
3lbs largely diced potatoes.
Rinse and placed in large pot.
Add enough water to cover potatoes. (Can also use 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken broth.) Add garlic and onion salt. Bring to boil and cover.
Boil till you can poke with fork, but not fully fork tender.
Turn down to simmer. Add 1 block cream cheese, diced melts faster. Once melted, add 1 can cream mushroom, 1 can cream celery, 1 stick butter, 1 cup milk. Continue to simmer until potatoes are fork tender.
Scoop into bowl and add freshly shredded cheese and bacon bits.
