- Serves:

8
ingredients
- 4 cups red potatoes, peeled and diced (I keep mine with the peel)
- 1⁄3 cup diced celery
- 1⁄3 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 2 cups cooked ham, rough chopped (leftover ham works great!)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
directions
- Combine potatoes, celery, onion, ham, garlic and thyme and broth in Instant Pot.
- Shut and lock lid and set to pressure for 10 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, quick release steam.
- While the IP is doing its magic, in separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick.
- Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form and all milk is added. Turn up to medium heat. Continue to stir until thick (4-5 minutes).
- Add in cheese and stir until melted.
- Stir the cheese mixture into the Instant Pot after you performed step 3. Set to saute on high and cook until heated through about 3 minutes. (I also will break up some of the potatoes for thickness. It gets thicker as it cools and next day).
