1 Tablespoon Leftover Bacon Grease
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Chives
4 slices Cooked, Crispy Bacon
1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
5 cups Chicken Broth
6 whole Medium Red Potatoes, Baked And Cut Into Bite Sized Chunks
1 cup Whole Milk Or Half-and-Half
1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste

1
Melt bacon grease in large stock pot over medium/high heat. Add minced garlic and chives, saute until they soften and garlic starts to brown. Add the chopped bacon and stir to mix.
2
Add flour and whisk around to coat all the ingredients. Slowly add chicken broth, whisking the whole time so that lumps don't form.
3
Once broth has warmed, remove the skin from half of the potatoes and add them to the pot. Mash the potatoes slightly. Add the remaining potatoes in chunks, skins intact.
4
Heat up the milk (or half-and-half) in the microwave until warm to the touch.
5
Turn heat on stove down to low. Slowly add the milk to the pot, whisking the whole time. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 20-30 minutes or until ready to serve. Before serving, add a dash of hot sauce and grated cheese.
