In a crockpot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and chicken broth.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes for a creamier texture.

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese until melted and combined.

Add the crumbled bacon and season with salt and pepper.

Serve warm, garnished with chives.
