Quick And Easy Skillet Chowder

• 3 Tbsp. roasted garlic butter (Land O' Lakes)
• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 2 c. frozen potatoes O'Brien, thawed
• 1 (14 3/4 oz.) can cream style corn
• 1/4 c. cooked and crumbled bacon (or real bacon bits)
• 2 c. half & half
• 1/8 tsp. white pepper
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives (or 1 Tbsp. dried)
• Cheese of choice, optional

1. Heat garlic butter and oil in large skillet.
2. I like to use my electric skillet for this. Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender.
3. This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Add corn, bacon, half & half, white pepper, paprika, salt and chives.
5. Continue cooking over low heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.
6. If desired, sprinkle a little cheese over the top of each serving.
