Polly’S Perfect Potato Soup

• 6 medium potatoes, (about 4 pounds) peeled and cubed
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1-1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 6 green onions, thinly sliced
• Shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, optional

1. Place potatoes in a large stockpot or Dutch oven; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered until very tender, about 20-25 minutes; drain well, reserving 1 cup liquid.
2. Return potatoes to stockpot or Dutch oven; mash until desired consistency. Return pan to heat and add milk, heavy cream, butter, garlic and seasonings; heat on medium-low until heated through, 5-10 minutes, adding reserved cooking liquid to thin soup to desired consistency. Serve warm. Top with green onions. If desired, sprinkle with cheese and bacon.
