Use russet potatoes: These potatoes are ideal for soups because they break down easily and create a creamy texture.
Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of this soup, so use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
