1
Boil potatoes until fork tender.
2
Melt half of the butter and saute onions and garlic until onions are transparent.
3
Drain potatoes and place into a crock pot. Add the other 1/2 stick of butter. Using a potato masher or a fork, slightly mash the potatoes so that not all remain whole.
4
Add onions, garlic, bacon bits, and sour cream. Add instant potatoes. Stir well.
5
Add milk (you may use more or less than 6 cups depending on how thick you want it). Stir well and add salt/pepper to taste.
6
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. (If after 4 hours you feel your soup is too thin, you may add a little more instant potatoes and cook for at least another hour to thicken.)
7
Serve with a garnish of shredded cheddar on top. You may also add chives if you desire.
