Notes
Cut the potatoes into small pieces so they cook faster and blend more easily. If the cream becomes too thick, add a little more milk gradually until you reach the desired texture. Use low heat when melting the cheese so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Add the bacon at the end to keep it crispy.
