Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
- Season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.

Notes
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream or swapping regular bacon for turkey bacon. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
