Tips:

For a creamy and flavorful soup, use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. Russet potatoes will add a starchy texture, while Yukon Gold potatoes will add a buttery flavor.
To save time, you can use frozen diced potatoes instead of fresh potatoes.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will not be as creamy.
To make the soup vegetarian, you can omit the bacon. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

This creamy slow-cooker potato soup is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
