Lots of REAL butter

Bacon
Cheese
Ham
French fried onions
Melt a couple tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Add onion and celery and cook until tender. Add grated potatoes and cook for several minutes stirring constantly to keep potatoes from sticking. Add the cubed potatoes and cover potatoes with water and simmer soup for about an hour adding more water as needed. During the last 1/2 hour of cooking slowly add heavy cream stirring constantly to keep the cream from curdling. Add butter and stir well. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Made this tonight! Delish! The grated potatoes really added a nice texture and consistency to the soup...never had heard of this before but it was perfect. I added some leftover Honeybaked Ham from Christmas and topped with some shredded sharp cheddar and crumbled bacon (yes, ham AND bacon!)...sooooooooo good! I can tell it will be even more delicious tomorrow! Would be awesome with some green onion or chives on top too (like a loaded baked potato). Thanks for the recipe
